Are you sure it's a 32 mb card? You might just have the wrong BIOS or crappy drivers for your card.

on the same note i have the same card (32mb) works great with all my games intill i install the drivers for the card. Right now its running on windows drivers i wanna use the drivers but when i do in most games the screen goes black. Is it cause i need to uninstall the XP drivers first? then install the Nvidia drives?

could someone tell me the way by which i can determine the exact size of my video card
ram (even though my dealer may have overclocked it in the bios to dupe me)

is it possible that windows xp can show 16 mb in display properties as onborad memory
