I have a Acer - AC711 Moniter, its a pretty big one..

and a Display Adapter: SiS 650_740

and this is my problem

When my display adapter is enabled when i run some games and programs it
gives me the error: [Error] Can't Create A New Surface. Out Of Video Memory.
This Program Will Now Exit [OK]

But

when i disable the adapter it WORKS... yay... but then i get all these lines
running accros my screen like a patter, 1 dark line then its nothing then
again...

Get a video board that is able to play the games you want to play. And an
SIS video adapter isn't one of them.
