My friend is having ASUS P5GZ-MX which has Intel graphics Media Accelerator and promises to have an onboard memory of 128 MB.But in the bios I have only the choices of 512 KB,1 MB and 8 MB..

I don't know how to extend that to 128 MB..please help me..

He is having 1 GB of RAM installed and in the properties (MY Computer) it is showing 0.99 GB.

No...nowadays bios updating is as simple as installing a software. Just download the exe nd it ask for backup then install nd restart. Bingo..its done.
updating bios solves most problems.
