Why go to PC World? Whatever you paid, you would get some great deals at,
Novatech, Tesco, and Aldi to mention just three. Novatech will even allow
twelve months interest free [at least they did]

It sounds like you have onboard graphics, and its taking 128mb, check your
bios, or 'ms ifo' in windows, either should tell you what is happening.....
