I had that card and a machine with only 256Mbs RAM and it ran fine. try newer drivers if you can around version 43 of the detonator drivers should do it (Maya doesnt like the latest ones)

I second what Pure says. I have that same card and have ran maya with that low of ram, and haven't had a problem. I's posibly the driver, or a bad install of maya.

hi guys,

thanks for the reply.i will try a hand into it..by changing the drivers...

will maya work under onboard VGA..any idea?

i hav a GIGABYTE k7tritorn series motherboard with shared ram upto 32 mb...

i dont think its bcoz of a bad install coz i hav installed it using two cd's for more than 5 times...still the problem persists...
