I think is the video ram is share with the mobo ram (32 - 8 = 24). The
video ram take 8 MB ram from your mobo ram. Check the Cmos/Bios setting.

Thank you

I sold the system and when the customer was trying to install a program that required 32 MB of RAM, the program would not install stating there was not enough memory.  What caused this?  Microsoft tech support was no help.
