You go to a local store; Best Buy, Circuit City, etc and you BUY a video
card that comes with more memory than the amount on the card you are presently using. "louisiannakitty" wrote in message ...

Unfortunately that is the only option. Video ram is built into the video
card. You can not simply add memory to this card. You must purchase a card with more videoram.

How do I get more video memory?
There is more to video than you have been told.
Early VIDEO controller cards came with 1 MB (megabyte) of memory. Many had empty memory spaces for upgrade to 2 MB. With prices soaring to $100 per megabyte costs seemed quite high. With the introduction from INTEL@ of the ATX form factor motherboard many manufacturers began integrating the VIDEO CARD function onto the motherboard. These integrated VIDEO Controller chips shared (stole) memory capacity from the main memory ram? chips. the amount of memory shared is adjustable in your BIOS Setup. (board input/output setup) Depending on where you live and who you know a whole new motherboard or even computer might be obtained for $20 to $40 which might have shared memory aounts of 32MB or 64MB or even 128 MB. Obviously if you only have 192 MB of main memory and you borrow 128 MB your computer will run very slooooowly. But take heart , more powerful video options are opening up for you every minute as the wealthy folks are throwing out there nice machines for all the power and capacity needed to operate with the "VISTA@" system.
