You should be able to adjust the amount of video memory in the BIOS.

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright
until you hear them speak.........

There are a lot of graphics cards that also use Shared Memory. All of the
NVidia cards with Turbocache come to mind...

You should update the amount of RAM on your system to at least 2Gb, that way
the 256Mb devoted to your graphics won't matter that much.

Where exactly do you read this info? It may well be, that your
card would merely use /up to/ 256 MB while it actually uses
0 MB of the systems RAM. How many monitors are connec-
ted and what resolution are they set to?

Anzeige-Erweiterte Einstellungen.
Display - Extended Settings.

However, it is not absolutely clear, whether these are ACTUAL
characteristics or MAXIMUM.
At least, it says, that
Available memory: 319 MB, dedicated video memory: 64MB, shared: 255MB

Monitor: 1280x800, 32bit colors.

That does not count up to 319 MB, of course, but who knows whta Vista does
with the memory to store skins, backgrounds, icons etc. ?

Monitor: 12

No setting for this. Some ATI driver tweak, I guess.

Any idea, why Vista wants 128MB at least for Aero ? Much more than only to
store 1280x800x32bit of a screen image. For this, 4MB would suffice.
