ok, I have a MSI MS-6378X-L motherboard, and i think it says i can share upto 32MB of video memory, check it up for me please.. I would like to set it to 16MB or even 32MB of memory because right now i have 8MB of video memory, and because of it the computer doesn't boot up properly ( dont worry about that lol) can someone tell me EXACTLY how to share more memory, Please check that motherboard out just to make sure it can have up to 32MB PS: i have a 256MB and a 64MB of ram in my board. please help ASAP

nope ... 8MB max shared video memory. http://www.msicomputer.com/product/... Video Integrated Trident Blade 2D/3D video accelerator. AGP 2X ensures rich 3D graphics and video performance. Shared with External Memory up to 8MB. get yourself a PCI graphics card for a few quid and disable the onboard graphics altogether. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...

ok but it says it had an AGP slot if you read closely, can i buy an external one or something? I live in australia and PCI video cards aren't cheap :)

if YOU read closely, there is NO agp slot :-) Slots One CNR (Communication Network Riser) slot. Three 32-bit Master PCI bus slots. Supports 3.3v/5v PCI bus interface. so it's got to be a PCI (not pci-e/express) graphics card. my recommendation, get a fx-5200 pci w. 256 MB ddr ram (appr. usd 60), shouldn't be too expensive in australia either.

ok look here. Video • Integrated Trident Blade 2D/3D video accelerator. • AGP 2X ensures rich 3D graphics and video performance. • Shared with External Memory up to 8MB. Network ADMTek AN983B 10/100 BaseT Ethernet. On-Board Peripherals - 1 Floppy port supports 2 FDD with 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88Mbytes. - 1 Serial ports (COM 1), 1 Parallel port supports SPP/EPP/ECP mode. - 2 USB ports (2 Rear connectors/2 Front pin header). - 1 IrDA connector for SIR/CIR/FIR/ASKIR/HPSIR. - 1 Audio/Game port. - 1 VGA port.

yes, your crappy onboard blade 2d/3d chip is using the AGP bus, however, your board only provides 3 PCI slots, end of story :-) http://www.msicomputer.com/product/... Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

oh i see, Whenever i turn the computer on, The resoloution is WAY to big, I dont mean a little bit to big, I mean the taskbar is half the bloody screen lol :) the only way i can get it to normal is when the window pops up saying the resoloution is too big click this bubble to resolve it, then it goes to 800x600 which is fine, Is there anyway of fixing it so that i can turn it on normally, I can only use the admin account and this is pissing me off lol
