496 meg of RAM ? - taugust04

What model of Mac are you using? There is probably 16MB of RAM reserved for the integrated video controller on your Mac.

The Mac Pro, $1199 and above iMac, and MacBook Pro all have separate video controllers from ATI or NVidia that have their own video memory. The $999 iMac, MacBook, and Mac Mini use the Intel GMA 950 integrated video chip set that steals away from your RAM.

Hope that helps. The other guy is right, the only fix is more RAM.

496 meg of RAM ? - A Nony Mouse

I found some games are overstating the amount of VRAM I have available. I'm currently playing Medal Of Honor: Pacific Assault.. Great game, very cinematic and looks great- but the specs in game say I'm running at 768Mb Video RAM. Imagine that!! Anyway I updated my ATI graphics driver with the latest OMEGA drivers. Looking good!

I have a MacBook Pro 2.16Ghz, 2Gb RAM, 100GB HD, XPsp2 (32Gb partition- FAT32 formatted) the balance to OS X.
