Onboard video and ram please read
« on: October 16, 2003, 12:59:38 PM »
Ok I'll explain this simply and toss in a few tweeks

any and all onboard video uses your installed ram to run...

some of them are adjustable in the bios screen (hit del as the pc starts)  look for the video ram alottment and toggle its settings

you ussually will see different settings for ram
AE   8mb 16mb  32mb  64mb

now remember that this will use AE 64mb's of your installed ram

so lets say that you have 256 mb's worth of ram

you have XP as an operating system

XP uses 128mb's of ram ussually
VC uses   64mb's of ram
 this leaves you with 64mb's of ram left for loading games page files ect....  
If you learn to tune xp to were its running the min required programs  it may still not have enough ram to run AH2
