A quick googling turns up "Resizable BAR". My Asus Bios on the DG1
machine says "ReSize BAR (Resizable BAR support to harness full GPU
memory)".
So "Resizable BAR" should hopefully be understood by most people. Not
sure though if this is the same as "Above 4G memory", although the
latter must be a prerequisite I assume.
