i hav gigabyte motherboard nd its inbuilt vgacard takes 64mb ram how can i reduce it ihav tryed in bios also?

If you have the mother board on an intel chipset then it will take a percentage of ram by itself.\nYou cannot change that Neither is it required

A little more information would be nice.  if you want to upgrade to a better graphics card.  Open you case and look at your mother board.\n\nYou can determine what type of graphics card your motherboard needs in several ways (beginning with the easiest method):\n\nBy checking your owner's manual \nBy opening your computer's case and visually inspecting the graphics slot \n\nVisually inspecting your graphics slot. Though I recommend consulting your owner's manual or computer manufacturer to determine which card your system requires, it is possible to open your computer's case and visually inspect the graphics slot on your motherboard to determine which type you have. \n\nThere are two ways to determine whether you have an AGP or PCIe slot by visual inspection:\n\nAGP slots are farther away from the back edge of the motherboard — typically about 2.5 inches (BROWN IN COLOR). \n\nThe other slots on the graphics card are conventional PCI slots, which are typically all the same size. (WHITE IN COLOR).\n\nThey have not made 3 meg graphics cards in years.  \n\nNormally they are 32 Meg. 64 meg, 128 and so on a 128 meg graphics card would be the best.\n\nIt depends on your operating system.  How much Ram you have?\nSpeed of your mother board.  How old you system is?

The motherboard is the key factor in determining the ability to upgrade your system. For example if your motherboard supports only 2 memory slots at a maximum of 512MB each you can not install 2 GB of memory. You can not install a SATA disk drive unless the motherboard has SATA connectors. You can not put an AGP graphics card in the PC unless there is an AGP slot. The list goes on and on.

You probably have an on-board "graphics card."  This means that some of your RAM is being used instead of the RAM on a separate graphics card, and so less memory is available tot he rest of trhe computer.\n\nIf your numbers above are accurate, it appears that th erest is indeed being used for graphics.  Tha should be adjustable from the Properties function.\n\nAnother (less likely) possibility is that you have SDRAM, and an older motherboard does not recognize the chips.

get a graphics card you ram is givein to the graphics driver as virtual mem which is from one mb-512 mb but a graphics card has built in ram so your computer stays fast

You don't. The amount of video memory you have depends on how much is built into your video card, or your motherboards on board video. You can't increase it without getting a new video card, anymore than you can increase the amount of ram you have without buying and installing new ram.

if it is PCI express 16 you probably installed the card wrong since PCI express 16 sucks memory you MUST install the DIMMs Memory BEFORE you plug the video card in the slot.\nif in doubt remove the video card and the memory and the (battery for 5 minutes) put the battery in first, Then the memory, then the video card, if that doesnt fix it check to see if you have the latest BIOS on your motherboard, and then finally, check for the latest drivers for the video card, Also the PCI express connector takes a bit of effort to seat the video card so use enough force to seat it

I'd recommend you attach a AGP card of arounfd 256MB, something like NVidia

you havent specified how much you have and how much it shows, normally the ram will be shared for vram(video ram) also, like if you have 128mb , shared 32mb or .... will be reduced and showed in the system properties tab, because while upgrading and all the ram wont be reduced

Some of these answers are wrong and others are not clear enough.\n\nYou need to first check with either the PC maker or motherboard manufacturer and see:\n\n1. What is the total amount of memory supported by the board?\n2. Does this memory have to be installed in pairs?\n3. What type of memory am I currenty running so I don't break Double DDR by installing a single DIMM\n\nBasically your usually better off with multiple chips rather than a single large chip. Your cost per MB is usually lower this way plus if the system is designed to use multiple channels you get added bandwidth by splitting the memory into seperate banks on seperate busses.\n\nCrucial has a pretty good web site for finding out what memory your system can take but don't take that for gospel.

There is probably something wrong with your mobo or your memory or VGA card, you have to troubleshoot them, most likely sounds like a memory problem

u can upgrade the mother bord and make it better and/or just buy 1 or 2  memory sticks(ram) and stick them in ur comp.
696692
the processes are to heavy for the amount of RAM you have... get more RAM. x

Get 512 Mb, or more if you can afford it.   Ideally you want to the the memory on 1 stick, not 2, to conserve the slots on your motherboard for future upgrades.   Be sure to buy the correct type of RAM for your motherboard.

go to http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/ for a excelent tool which will give you modules for every part of your p.c including motherboard,it also gives you your windows product key which is handy to know if you havent got one\n      this also gives info like max memory that can be fitted and graphic card info

You need to leave more information.  What computer do you have, what motherboard....\n\nHow many slots in total do you have?\n\nIf you have 4 slots, then the chances are you need to insert 2 RAM modules at the same time.  Not a definite, as will need more info on your computer,  but thats probably likely. You could buy 2 sticks on 1GB, and insert them into the currently filled slots, and put the 2 512Mb in the other slots (if you have 4 slots)  That way you will have 3Gb RAM, should run quite will with that!!!

You'll have to puchase a video card (AGP or PCI, depending on your motherboard), install this and disable the onboard video in BIOS.
