I have a motherboard with onboard video. It has 8MB of shared memory. I was told that it could be changed to a higher number like 32MB. Where is this done? I cannot find anything in the manual or in the BIOS? It is a MSI MS-6368 board. Thanks in advance for your advice.... I have plenty of system memory to share....

From msicomputer.com: "Integrated Trident Blade 2D/3D video accelerator.
AGP 2X ensures rich 3D graphics and video performance.
Shared with External Memory up to 8MB."
I think what you're referring to is the "AGP Aperture". This is a BIOS setting that involves using system memory for textures (I guess, I'm no video expert). The consensus is that the AGP Aperture should be left at the default setting of 64MB, even if you have gobs of system memory to spare.
