    What is integrated video card?

    I have a 128MB video card Integrated and i got 256MB DDR2 of RAM

    So does that 128 gets used off my 256?

    So if i upgrade my ram to 2gig will the video be better?

    The integrated video card is built into your motherboard and has it's own memory.

    Your 256MB's of RAM is not affected by your video.

    Unless it's 'shared' memory, e.g 64mb on board + 64mb stolen from the system memory.

    Got some more RAM anyway :D

    and let the gaming begins ;) :)

    btw integrated one is the one which comes by default with your motherboard which may lack some things like VerTex Shader !!

    One that doesn't have to ride in the back of the bus - and can go to school with the other video cards you buy at CompUSA.

    yeah, get more memory ANYWAY. I have 2gb in my desktop and I wouldn't run with less than 1gb on a laptop, it's not that expensive -- even for a laptop -- to upgrade it.
