Do you own a NETBOOK?

I would assume there is a setting in the BIOS to set more memory to be available to the video.

Have you checked the BIOS for such settings?

The problem is, I dont know/forgot which key to press to access BIOS upon boot. The screen flashes too damn quickly

Unless there's a different way of accessing it on laptops...

*** EDIT ***

Finally was able to access the BIOS Menu, but unfortunately, I can't toggle the 8mb value for video memory. I read over the Acer Aspire One forums that this is typically limited to Windows XP, as those AAO users running on Vista can allocate up to 700mb of memory for video... SUCKS!
