the pictures basically describe the situation.

I used to be using the integrated on my mobo for my monitor, but i decided to switch up to a pci geforce 4 mx laying around to free up some memory. well, the monitors that used to be on the integrated wont go away, and i can't get all my memory back (the onboard vc memoory is set to 8 mb, which is how i can have 504 mb of mem)

any way to get back all my mem and get rid of these "extra monitors"?

well if the card is dual-ouput, there should be 2 monitors. but the integrated gpu is apparently still activated. did you disable it in the BIOS?

the card is not dual output, it only has the vga, and the s-video (i think) connectors

there seems to not be any option in the bios to disable the onboard video?!?

ok, ill check the msi forums...

S-video is an output ;)
and if the BIOS doesnt have the option of disabling the onboard card, then you may have to live with 8mb less...
