Is my onboard stealing too much ram?

[Runningkid]

when i start up the PC it says the gfx card is 64mb, but when i check in windows it says this:

(yes i m using chinese windows)

what does this mean? could this be causing all the restart when ever i play games?

make sure youve got the right drivers. try the ones that came with it. Where did you get the 6150? HK?

Off topic: How's the motherboard? Have you tried overclocking with it? I've got the Biostar 6100 and it's ace, but I've heard the Foxconn is also really good.

no i havent overclocked the mobo or anything. u using the onboard graphics?

Does the 6150 use turbo cache technology? If it does then it uses 4 times the amount of ram that you specify. (64mb would equate to 256mb)

In your bios you should be able to set the Memory down to something like 8mb (32mb if it has turbocache) and that would free up quite a bit of system memory.

as its onboard i guess it would be turbo cahce, ok set it now, 16 was the min tho. let c how it goes.

overclocking your ram would make a hell of a difference i would expect specialy if you have some good low latency stuff with the card using system ram wich is mega slow compared to actual gfx card ram
