utilization. In Fixed mode, a fixed-size fragment of the system memory is
allocated to the graphics core. In DVMT mode, the graphics driver allocates
memory as needed for running graphics applications and is cooperatively
using this memory with other system components. In Fixed+DVMT mode,
the graphics processor gets a fixed-size chunk of 64MB of memory and up
to 64MB of dynamically-allotted memory. This mode guarantees that at least
