With an onboard graphics adaptor you can on quite a few systems allocate more
RAM to the video.Since you have a GIG of ram you can try that first.This is
usally done in the BIOS and the manual that came with your system should explain
how.This will deduct that ram from other uses.
If that and the new drivers do not resolve your problem then I would look into
buying a Video Card.At this point you need to know if you have an AGP slot on
your MOBO and if you do you can buy an AGP video Card if not you will need a PCI
card.
