Default 3GB Switch Video Card Issue

Hi all -- just flipped the 3GB switch last night and it has had a negative impact on my video card. I know I have read about this problem before when using the 3gb switch, but I can't seem to find a solution for it now. Is it a driver issue, is there a work-around?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I've noticed that the 3GB switch is not compatible with the sli on my laptop--it's one or the other. Not sure what kind of trouble you are having, though.

have alook here-

I had problems before, booting up and windows not seeing my Gfx card, thought it was a Gfx driver update i'd made (release 90 nvidia) but turned out it wasnt.
Changed the boot.ini file to read-
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional 3GB" /3GB/Userva=2900
Works fine now

after a couple of restarts it seems to have worked itself out -- just one of those unexplained things that I don't mind not knowing the answer too, I'm just happy it works.

thanks
