If I enable large system cache and reboot, I am left with a 4-bit
640x480 display that I cannot alter. The ATi CP is also missing its
tabs.

Undoing the large system cache and rebooting results in my normal
display.

Cheers,

Sorry, OS Win XP SP1, ATi 9800 Pro.

This isn't new to the 4.4s, I had problems with it when I first
installed my Radeon last summer; the large system cache setting and the
catalysts have always been a problem afaik, you're lucky you didn't
completely fuxor your HDD.

Simple solution, don't use large system cache.
 
How large?

Its not how large, its changing this registry setting:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory Management]
"LargeSystemCache"=dword:00000000
so that dword:00000001

Or it's changing the Control
Panel>System>Advanced>Performance[Settings]>Advanced>Memory Usage, tick
System Cache rather than Programs.

What's the reason to change this setting? Why choose large system cache vs
large program cache?
 
Large system cache is if you want to run that PC as a server. Run program
cache for workstations/PCs.

Don't cry! It depends on the number of running services and installed
RAM.

I still wonder why people running ATI cards on home and/or gaming systems
feel the need to change this setting to system cache instead of the default
(program cache)...
 
Because they read it on some "tweaking" website, and do it without question.

Have you guys installed the MS fix for large system cache issues?

Not all of us mate! Some of us benchmark before and after.
