Hey there, I've tried searching Google for answers and found nothing 🙁
my computer is Windows 7, 64 bit, I7 cpu @ 2.8, msi x68 pro-e, Nvidia FX 1800, kingston 6 gig of ram 3x2.

My problem is my graphics card is using 2 gig of ram, so windows is saying its only got 4 gig. but bois says I have 6 gig...

how do i stop my graphics card from using all this memory

thx for reading hope ya can help 😀

p.s only helpfull thing i found was memory re-mapping which i can not do lol (don't have that option lol)

Possibly the wrong forum. Your question has already been answered in your post on our Video forum. 🙂

It sounds like you're using onboard video, and the video section is "borrowing" the extra 2 GB of RAM. If you actually have a separate vid card, check the CMOS to see that it's set to use it, instead of onboard video.
