Graphics Card

hey, its me again (fs415e)

i was just wondering about my graphics card- its 128mb, shared with main memory-so basically it uses RAM to function? it permently steals 10mb, as my RAM is 502 when it should be 512. this doesnt bother me- on the contrary, i want to know if i can dedicate a full 128mb of memory to the graphics card, and buy another 512 RAM. So that the outcome of all this is a full 128mb graphics card, with 896mb RAM (originally 1024).

any ideas and a guide would be nice :smileygrin:

I don't think you can physically tell it to use the whole 128MB, but if you install 1GB and play a game with a lot of graphics then it will automatically use the 128MB leaving you with some memory for the game, and it will be smoother in essence
