Welcome to the forums

Can you post a screen images of CPU-Z (all tabs)

What OS are you using?

My guess is that it's the memory which aren't matched.. you have PC2-6400 and PC2-5400. Thuis is fine when running 1:1 but it could be causing latency problems.

Also, since your GFX card is 1GB, the mapping function is taking a nice chunk out of that 2GB.

i would get 4GB of matched PC-6400 regardless if you us a 32 or 64 bit OS.

What OS are you using, and what revision of the audio/chipset and graphics drivers are you using. It sounds like a graphics driver issue. I would download the latest suitable Nvidia one and see if it removes the issue. Uninstall the old one reboot then install the new one reboot.... bliss hopefully :)

right, im sorry to seem dumb :(, but what is the screenshots you wanted? of the cpu-z? i am using Vista Home Premium, anyway i could stop the GFX card taking so much memory or will that always be that way?
Cheers :)
 
It's unlikely it's a hardware problem.
It's either a driver issue, crappy codec install or bug in the movie player. (WMP)
