Here is some info on your board:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/D815EEA/index.htm

I have looked over almost everything and can't find anything about 32 MB
of video memory. Are you actually using the onboard video card? The
amount of System RAM does not matter. The amount of video RAM is what
you are talking about here. I didn't see anything that allowed you to
use the System memory as shared memory.
