Well this might be a silly question, but I'm asking anyway....
I have onboard graphics and it has 32mb of ram to supply it. I have 384 mb ram total. I am wondering if 32mb is the most the graphics can handle or can I assign more to it? If I am able to, how would I do that?

Go into BIOS and look for an entry for video RAM or Shared RAM or some such thing. In my old board I could share 64 MB.

Even if you're a casual gamer 32MB will be fine. You can always use bios to share some system memory, maybe another 32mb.

Thanks for your reply. I looked in the bios but didn't see anything that I should change, but I will have another look around it today when I have more time.
Thanks alot for your help! :)
