Graphics card problem PLEASE HELP !!!

[djtempo2k7]

Hi I hope someone can help my current situation,​

​

I have a toshiba laptop model is P10 371 & has a geforce fx GO 5600 64 MB Graphics card.​

​

I recently installed windows vista business & was suprised when i found I had Aero glass & all the 3d effects on a low end graphics card (MB wise)​

​

Following this i checked DXDIAG & clicked Display, were it said​

​

Approx. Total Memory: 126 MB​

​

Can someone please explain were this extra 62MB has come from as I don't have a clue (Also if it helps my current RAM is 512MB dxdiag says 510)​

It could be including system memory in its calculation - but is this really a problem?

64MB Shared memory?

64 on Card
64 from System

I would think TD has it on the button - it is sharing a further 64MB from the system memory.

RAMDAC

Google is your friend

my card already has vista on it Vista business plus all the glass and 3D crap that vista offers

just bored of it lol

Vista Business system requirements state you should have 1GB System memory and 128MB Graphics memory - so you are right at the limit, especially as the graphics card is using 64MB of your 512GB RAM.

I would suggest upgrading the RAM to at least 1GB - preferably 2GB.
