Hello, I just put some new parts into a computer(motherboard, cpu, and memory). I reinstalled the operating system for the computer. When I go to launch an application or a game it says that I don't have enough video memory. I looked at the bios and it says the intergrated is enabled, but windows says that it's just a standard vga graphics adapter. I have a windows vista home premium 32bit with a Asus A55BM-E motherboard, a 6600k AMD quad core processor with an intergrated 8560D radeon graphics, 4gb ram, and a 500gb hardrive. Please help me out with this.

*Also, the GPU in that APU shares your System RAM so you can probably choose the AMOUNT to share in the motherboard BIOS.

You would probably want to choose 1GB (1024MB).

I recommend buying a dedicated video card at some point as the graphics are pretty weak in that APU. Since you have 32-bit Windows don't get a video card with more than 1GB.

UPDATE:
I think AMD stopped supporting VISTA so that may also cause some issues.
