Go to your BIOS and check if the onboard video memory is set to 128MB.

Well,Ok

I just checked it.The maximum onboard video memory is set to 8MB and that is the maximum available.

lol how did that happen ! I have no clue how you get 64MB.

IN my case, XP used to report as 128 and vista as 64 Mb, so i guess its normal.

Where does the rest 64 MB go ?

And will it be able handle games which require 128 MB memory ?

Maybe not as well as XP, i guess the 64 to Vista's aero interface.

Are you indeed using Vista or facing the problem in XP ? And you are talking about integrated graphics or graphics card.

Well, I have integrated graphic card.And I am facing this problem only in Vista.

yes, well then what i said above applies to you perfectly.

But,even if I disable aero the memory remains the same.(64 MB)

I guess its occupied irrespective of that !

So it means that i would never be able to play a game which require 128 MB memory ?.

Sad.

Its worth giving a try though. But why go for gaming in vista when you can play in XP

Because I was thinking to remove XP in the near future.That's why.

sid are you sure it was reported as 64MB and not 64Mb ?

Have a look at the the two :

Hey man you will not be able to play any game one this graphic adapter........(2d game will do fine)........
Install latest driver & check again........
Windows VISTA dedicate more system memory to graphic so that's why it is showing 64 MB..... you got it.....
