I have a pc with 128mb integrated video memory. If I buy a 128mb video card, will that add to the memory I already have or replace it?

Example: VGA (128) + Card (128) = 256 original memory

or just the 128 of the card?


Thanks

Ok, here's the problem, every now and then after I shut doen my computer I can't power it back on. When I press the power button, the amber light above it flashes, but the power does not come on. This usually lasts about a week, 2 at most, then it starts up normally. this is very frustrating and unpredictable. What could be causing this? Is there anything that I can do to stop this from happening? Don't want to take in to a shop yet, I would like a less expensive alternative. I appreciate any help I can get. Is there any way I can get my computer back on????

When I start up the computer, it gets stuck on a screen and a t the bottom it says: A disk read error occured. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart. After I do that, it's still the same screen.

Unplug all the wires and reattach them. Didn't work.
Restart. Didn't work.

For some reason I can't go into Safe Mode no matter how many times I press F8.

What in the world do I have to do fo fix it?

If you could, please answer and make it as simple as you can.I'm a little....slow....

Ok im a total dunce when it comes to hardware so please bare with me. I want to buy some memory(RAM) to speed up my PC but I also want to buy my first graphics card. Im aware the graphics cards come with RAM so would it matter if i buy both things, or should i just buy a graphics card because it has its own memory? or is there a difference?

The computer with the Core 2 Duo is $250 more, but it also has 2 times the DDR2 and a 320 gb vs. a 250 gb hard drive. I really don't need 2 GB of memory or a 320 GB hard drive though. Which one would be a better buy?

These are the links to both computers:
