I've got a Hercules (Nvidia) II 64 video card. When I boot up the pc (1600 Athlon) sometimes it reports 16mg on board memory, sometimes 32mg, sometimes 64mg. Performance follows accordingly, so it's not a reporting glitch. I wonder if it's a defective card. Anybody?

I'm assuming you have no major heat issues in your case, the card is correctly seated and your motherboard is ok. iksteh
I called the HQ and it appears you're right. I putting in another stick of memory this weekend and I'll check the seating. Thanks.
