Are you sure the 6150 LE has 256 meg dedicated memory?
From what I'm able to find by Googling, the 6150 LE is a low end graphics
solution employed by HP and others that "shares" system memory as part of
it's memory capacity. I'm guessing your 6150 LE has 64 meg dedicated memory
and "shares" up to 192 meg of your system memory as needed. That would also
explain your low graphics performance score.

Your card is probably a shared memory card that has only 64MB onboard and
gets the rest from main moemory.
I would think a 3.0 was about right for a 6150LE what value were you
expecting?

time for me get a new graphics card then

i was expecting 256

Then I suggest a 7600GS with an effective memory speed of 700Mhz or a 7600GT
card.

I think that you set the size of the video from the bios. Enter setup by
pressing the delete, f1, f2 or f10 key...Check your manual and then look
for the shared memory...You may be able to raise it to 256megs from your
system memory.
