my bios show 32 MB shared memory.
what is the shared memory.

Shared memory is where a portion of you ram is allocated to an onboard device. This device is most likely an onboard video card.

Agrees, you can change the size of MB your onboard device is using aswell, if you got a PCI or AGP GFX card, you're memory would more likely show the true size.
