    Hi guys,
    I've got a Chaintech NIF2 mainboard on my work PC with integrated Nvidia Ge Force 4 video card.
    This video card uses 32 Mb of the ram memory for working.
    I use the PC only for datasheets, text editor, email account and web browser.
    Considering that I've got only a 256 Mb bank, what is the minimum size I can give to the video card for working properly?.
    Does anyone think that I can set it to 16Mb without stability problems?
    Thanks in advance!

    I think you should be able to change it in the BIOS.

    Yes it's possible.I know how to do, so I think I'll try with 16 Mb :P

    You could also reduce the amount of colors it uses. (Reduce from 32 bit to 16bit in your advanced display settings. You probably need the resolution set up fairly high if you are viewing spreadsheets or you could reduce that also.
