php Posted April 27, 2006 CID Share Posted April 27, 2006 I would suspect you have an onboard video card. This reserves some of your system memory for the video card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted April 27, 2006 CID Share Posted April 27, 2006 budbem its your on board video card, it will use 128mb of your system memory, you can make it smaller in your BIOS, or video card proprieties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
