Try going to run,type:DXDIAG Run the direct X tests.If a sis 650_651 display
adapter is on the board,thats probably part of the problem.Most on-board only
have 8mb of video memory for them,get a agp or pci video card with as much
memory as available,the least expensive start with 64mb of memory.Games,
and video use alot of memory,even the 512 of ram is considered minimal,1024
will get you improvements along with a 256mb video card,ati are v.good.If
there's
a BIOS update,update the BIOS,they dont come up with updates for nothing....
