Hmmm... I went to Dell's spec sheet for that model, and it doesn't even list the graphics memory. But it does say that it's an integrated chip, which I suspected. If it really is only a 64MB capacity, then that could very well be your issue... but it begs the question... is this problem a recent thing, or has it always been this way with your computer?

If it's only recent, it's not because of your video memory. But if it has always been this way, then I'd be inclined to say it is. Especially if you have a large monitor with high resolution.
