Since I'm very confused at this point on how the onboard memory is used by a Video processor could someone please explain.
When we see 130.5 M detected and 34.6 M used, does that mean the memory used is holding cached info while the remaining 95.9 M of video memory is being used by the video processor to handle the rest of it's functions?
If this is close to how it works, does that mean the more video memory up to a point will help the video processor to crunch functions faster?

You have 130 megs of on board video? What motherboard si this? As for its saying how much is used. the lower number is how much is currently used. the larger number is how much is free. Having more ram free really won't affect perfromance. Unless it gets real close to 130.

whats that have to do with the motherboard?
I read the same thing about my video card when playing AH2

Because different motherboards use memory different for video. Like mine will allow you to select how much RAM you want to use to help out the graphics card. Also can do ti in my driver for my graphics card.

no guys it goes by how much ram you have on your video card .
or how much you have alloted to your onboard card
64 mb will read 63.5- 65 avg
128mb reads 127 -130 avg
256mb reads 254-265avg
used mem , is how much video memory is currently being used
