I have an older computer I have upgraded to W7
I have allocated 128MB shared memory in BIOS.
I have 2GB installed RAM.
W7 reports Total Available Graphics Memory = 32MB
Device manager Display Adapter is indicating three Memory Ranges
C0000000-C7FFFFFF
CFEE0000-CFEFFFFF
000A0000-000BFFFF

Could this be a driver issue?????????
Unfortunately, there are no Vista or W7 drivers for this computer.

If there's no drivers it very typical to have such issues, that said Vista and Win 7 both cache/buffer from system ram for the video card automatically, ram is released to system when required.

goto START type dxdiag and press enter, it will say on the display tab as total approx memory. For example my current 640mb Video ram shows as 2gig ram.
