I'm running on Cable internet.
Ok thanks, my problem is solved.
Ok, sorry again, but heres another porblem. my card is 128mb and when i play a game. " Medal of Honor ", it says that i have 64mb . Why is that. Is there a way to check exactly how much i have running and how to fix it? Do i need to go to my bios?
thanks

Watch your screen as it Boots up ,at the top it will post your Vid Card and it's Memory.

A general rule of thumb is to set your AGP Aperture size to half your system ram. Your AGP Aperture is just how much of your system Ram you want to let your graphics card use when it runs out of its own.
IMHO 64meg should be fine for a 128meg card, although I wouldn't bother going more than 128meg, and I think 256 is overkill, but that is just my opinion and really depends on what you do with your computer.
If you start getting errors saying you are running out of memory, then your aperture size is too big and you might want to cut it down a bit.
Setting the aperture size below 32meg will disable AGP, but you wouldn't want it below 32meg anyway.
This is also set in the BIOS.
