Default Re: Here\'s my current config --- what sucks?

The HP tech dude also told me that the fancy new dual-DVI Matrox video card that I installed a few months ago was probably using up the vast majority of the factory-installed 256MB anyway -- that confused me a bit...I had always thought that video cards (higher end ones, at least) came with onboard RAM of their own, so as NOT to run off the computer's RAM...am I right/wrong on that one??

You're a lot better informed than the HP support guy, I assure you. Just increasing your system RAM is almost certainly all that needs doing here - but do ensure there's no superfluous software running on startup and scan for virus/spyware.
