Ok, Its not really Vista related, however, when I enter the BIOS setup (on
boot-up) I go to the system tab and look at the "Memory" data. The RAM is
ok, but the Video Memory just says 16mb when the card is actually 64mb!

Any ideas? should I change it to a higher figure?

cheers,
 
Hi Marc,

Perhaps you are looking at the settings for an on-board video that you
replaced with an agp or pci card?

Which card? Probably an ATI with "hypermemory" or an nVidia with
"Turbocache".

Both are fancy terms that mean: "not really memory on the card, we steal
real memory and lie!"
