    i found something very interesting. i installed a new game, before the game was run it checked if the specs of pc met the minimum requirements.

    it ran fine until it said 'agp memory = 0mb'

    it said 'this game needs at least 10mb agp memory to run'

    but why is it 0mb? what is agp memory?

    but why is it showing as 0mb. surely dats a mistake as i have been playing new games and it plays but just struggles.

    are there any good programs to test the performance etc of my card?

    right click on your desktop
    select properties
    select settings
    select adaptor
    see what the ram is there
    if it's nothing then take the card back and get a new one

    I presume that you have set BIOS to use the AGP video not an onboard video card?

    You must also disable the integrated video in the task manager.
