After installing Win7 on ASUS M5A88-V EVO : I downloaded the driver for on-board video (integrated in chipset 880G -- the GPU is ATI 4250)

The application automatically took control over about 3 GB system memory, from a total of 8 GB.
I do not play games and I do not want so much system memory to be at the video chip disposal.
I tried to go trough the settings of the CCC named application ; I was not able to find anything that would do the setting -- and the "drivers" required about 150 MB on drive.

So I removed entirely (OK, as far as the uninstall do such things -- the HDD free size did not recover), hoping that a solution would be suggested by someone with more experience than I have.

I would be grateful for your help.
