RIVA TNT 64 - 32 MB RAM in Bios 16 MB shown by Windows XP

How it can be!
First thing I see during boot is displayed text with name of card, card BIOS version and 32 MB RAM.
After XP is loaded in graphic card properties I see only 16 MB!
I wonder if anybody had such problem and what I can do to make Windows
recognize full memory of graphic card?
Card BIOS version is 2.05.13.03.00.

This card may share some of your normal ram. Check that the pc's actual ram.
That would mean it could be 16MB personal + 16MB shared from pc ram = 32

Sorry. I have got to learn to read my own posts propperly before I post them. I meant check your ram and see if it's a strange number, different to what you should have.

Uhm...

Tks for reply SCHUMIinSA!
That's not the case, I mean sharing memory with PC RAM.
Card memory should be shown in OS same as reported during boot.
Unfortunately it's not. I think that resources of card memory are
overlapping with some reserved range used by system.

I see. Well maybe you could just try to re-install the card like you must have done when you first got it.
