Comment:

Ive just bought a 900Mhz Duron PC with a M810L motherboard for £20, problem is it has a 32mb Nvidia Graphics card and its PCI, it works fine but the onboard graphics even though theyre not in use eat 8mb of system memory, ive disabled the onboard graphics in the device manager so theyres no conflicts but is there a way to stop it using my system memory??? the os is Xp Home theyres only 256 mb memory i know 8mbs is nothing but its annoying!

You need to provide a little better info , the MSI KT4AV-L does not have onboard graphics.

I'm not sure if this will help, but there's a long discussion about this problem at the site show below. There's a suggested fix at the very end.
