Thank you, Harry. That's the sort of info we need. I will start
compiling a table with this stuff and see what we get. The memory
discrepancy may have to do with an obscure bit of RAM skulduggery that I
thought had been long ago superseded. Or it may be that your VGA RAM is
borrowing from your system RAM. If you have on-board video (as many
business, as opposed to gamers', systems do), it almost certainly does.
But that means you're using 128 Mb for VGA, and that's a lot for a
business system. But no, you said you're using two monitors, so you must
have a separate VGA card. Unless one monitor is running off onboard
video and the other off an add-in card? Where are the VGA connectors on
the back of your system? Are both on expansion slots? Or one on an
expansion slot and one on the mobo?
