Hi All:

The system is an HP Pavilion tower with XP Pro, 60gbyte hard drive and
384 mbyte of RAM. I run MS Flight Simulator, which would work better
if I could increase the 32-mbyte assigned to the onboard Intel 82810e
graphics controller: Can this be done, and if so, can someone tell me
how to do it?

I tried to add a new 128 mbyte graphics card...it went on thru the some
of the logos, but the screen went black before we got to Desktop.
Thought I'd try pumping up the onboard controller before going all out
with this...

Thanks in advance,

Don't think so, it's hardware that shares CPU cycles to render video.
That's why a dedicated video card is better than onboard video.
You must disable your onboard video in the bios before you boot with
the added video card, otherwise your computer will get confused.
Have the latest drivers downloaded and ready for the new card.
Best,

While it is certainly true that it would be good for the OP to install
an add-in video card, the computer will not get confused if the onboard
chip isn't disabled in the BIOS. This is good advice for sound cards,
but unnecessary for video cards.
