hey guys. I have an ATI Radeon 9000 128mb agp graphics card, but when i go to Desktop>Properties>Settings>Advanced>Adapter, it says that the memory size is only 64mb. Is it because it's being shared or something? its an esc motherboard and i have windows xp sp2. thanks.

thats what i would think. you sure its a card not integrated?

its not integrated because i built the computer. The box says radeon 9000 128mb.

anyway if it isn't the integrated 9000 i would say your first guess is right, some of the memory is shared. check to see what windows reports your memory as and see if its 64mb below what it should be
