How about this, it fits the poor performance, and 32mb situations.
You have an motherboard with built-in graphics. It could be an NForce
motherboard with GeForce graphics in the chipset. There will be an option
within the bios to allocate 32 64 or even 128mb of system ram to the video
system. A mobo flash is likely to reset the video to use a smaller amount of
shared memory (32mb).
If you have a video card installed in a PCI or AGP expansion slot, make sure
that you have plugged your monitor cable into that video port. You could be
using on-board video by mistake, simply by connecting to the wrong video
port.
