    Hi bebuzz62. Your problem isn't the motherboard its your graphics card. Having only a 64 MB graphics card isn't going to get you very far in playing high end games. I assume that the motherboard has integrated graphics? If so, you need to purchase a dedicated video card that you can install into the motherboard.

    If you wish to not install a dedicated video card then make sure that you install the correct drivers for the video card on the motherboard. Could you tell me the name of the motherboard, thanks.

    There is no name on the board but i think its a msi and i am using a agp video card, iam not trying to use high end games. just the ones that came with win 7 like solitare and spider solitaire. nothing fancy. it shouldn't take more then 64 mgb should it. itss enough on win xp and vista.

    Ok then. Well in that case you probably just need to install the correct video drivers for the graphics card. Whats the name of the graphics card?
