Your machine uses some RAM for the video display. The fixes are to add another stick of RAM and to add another stick of RAM.
Most of these machines can't "disable" the onboard video when you add a new video card, so your solution still comes back to add another stick of RAM.
Sorry to repeat that.

I have a HP Pavilion PC running 256mb Ram and running WinXp. I tried installing a game (Nascar Thunder 2004) which requires 256mb Ram with WinXp. When I look at system properties for the PC it say's there is 248mb Ram. How do I change it to have 256mb.
