I've just found out my integrated video card is using 256 of my RAM. And I want to disable that. I have 2GB RAM (don't even try to comment on how bad that is, ddr2 is very expensive and unless you are willing to give me the money for a good CPU that you can use ddr3 on shut the hell up) and 256 ram is kind of 'a lot' to me. I need it.

How does one disable that video card? I'll jam it out of the MOBO manually if I can/need.

EDIT: I do have a normal GPU, so the integrated one is useless

Edited for language by mod. Please watch the language. And watch the attitude.

"integrated video" means that your processor is handling graphics. However, graphics processing necessitates usage of RAM of some sort to hold textures for easy access. If you disabled your integrated video you would have no display. If you decreased the dedicated VRAM to 0, it would still use your RAM.

If you jammed your CPU out of the motherboard manually, well, you wouldn't be able to use your computer.
