sorry kunwar, but as far as onboard VGAs go, there is not much reason to cheer. it doesn't make much difference wether it is 64mb, 32mb or 8mb. the fact is, no matter how much VRAM it shows, it is actually just borrowed from ur main RAM. i.e. say, if u hv 256mb RAM, and u dedicate 64mb to ur onboard card, this means that u r actually just left with 192 mb for everything else. if u would really want some decent graphics performance, and dedicated VRAM, buy a dirt cheap 64mb AGP(geforce 4??) card.

of course, i m assuming u only hv onboard vga...cause if u did hv an external one, u wudnt have asked this in the first place...??

do you have a graphics card??? if not then the memory shown is the ram which is shared as video ram also. So check it out.

ANOTHER development GUYS,
when i saw the "properties" of my onboard 82845 graphics controller,
"vram:64 mb
vram in use: 5mb"

this was a "hidden" secret that ONLY 5 mb of 64 mb is in USE.
Guys,
tell any way 2 increase it.

get Everest Home Edition from Here ..second Vram is the On Board Ram on the AGP card ...plus 64 MB Shared emans as told earlier ..its borrowed from ur RAM ..so even if u think u have 8+64=72MB Vram but ur game is gonna Detect the Original entry only..so my guess is u must b having 8MB dedicated Ram..please use the link above to d/l everest and chk ur system ....

There r no Seprate drivers for ur VRam ...your AGP Drivers are ur Vram drivers..so keep them up to date...

Get Sisoft Sandra from Here
