i've been away from the osx86 "world" for awhile, i have been so confuse with all this new dsdt stuff and currently its not been easy finding a simple guide. I am currently on 10.6.2 now with no problems, however i bothered by the fact that my system profiler shows my 8800gtx 768mb as a 512.

@kDawgThat's very specific to each card. Depends on how much video ram your card has, what kind of ports you have and more importantly which slot it's in. I've commented what you need to change. Google gfxutil and you should find out how to find your PCI locations. Here is a patch you need to place within the Device (PCI0) section. This is…
