Hi i recently bought a new graphics card (nvidia fx 5200) for my old pc, it only has a 1.5 ghz amd proccesor and 256mb of rami decided long ago that i would leave me new mac game free, as it is a company computer and it doesnt look good having games all over your pc when your doing a presentation.
Anyway i installed it fine and disabled my old built in vga card and it was running fine, apart from my old vga takes up 16mb of ram even tho it isnt doing anything, this might not sound much but several games that require 256 Ram wont work because of this 16 Mb short fall, is there anyway of entirely disabling this built in vga without cutting it out with a saw?Look in your BIOS for an option to disable it.
It's often in a section called something like ONBOARD peripherals, and is SOMETIMES called onboard or integrated graphics, VGA or display adapter.
Also, consider upgrading your RAM, 256Mb is not a lot, especially for games.yea i disabled it trough my bios but it still eats up that 16mb, and i cant upgrade my ram, my motheboard wont take anymore even tho it came with 2 ram slot ONE already FILLED with 256 ram...Download, unzip, install and run Everest Home Edition

Paste the details in here.Your MBoard maxes out at 256 MG of RAM ? ?

Is this a 486 ? ?436? yes it does max out at 256 but i never get this due to my built in vga...
