this is most likely a BIOS setting. i would check the manual of the motherboard or scan through the BIOS to find this option.

Perhaps the manufacturer of the board can help out on this as well.

ahh ok, so you have a sony netbook.

I assume the windows XP only showing 8MB could be normal. these onboard (chipset graphics) assign memory dynamically. it could be that the XP driver is showing only the amount of memory that is currently being used but the vista drivers was showing the maximum memory possible.

Unfortunately the only people who would be sure would be Sony themselves.

I would recommend you have a word with them to confirm (or deny) this.

The sony for the downgrade do not respond ...

 

But I think you are right.

 

Then the memory shows that XP is not genuine? Could still have 750 MB as the SONY?

thanks for all!
