Onboard Card

Lately my dedicated videocard fan been making lots of noise(Radeon x1600 Pro Saffire Crossfire)so I decided to switch to my Onboard GeForce 7050 which I beleive has better "graphics".

Even thought I understand Onboard Card takes the computer memory, for some reason all the games im running are lagging A LOTwith it. I have 2G of RAM,my onboard video-card brings it down to 1.93 GB, which I beleive is still way more than enought to play games(WoW,GW,general MMO's),so why is it still lagging?

pretty sure you can't, VRAM is usually "physical" for a gfx, and since its on the motherboard i wouldn't recommend doing anything except putting that old card in. Tough luck :(.

you need to change this setting in the bios.
to change it hit del on start up.. and that will take you to the menu where you can change the video ram.. change it to as high as it can go and see if you still get lag..

maybe this will help you
