I understand that windows vista is going to require 128 mb of memory on the video card to use some of the advanced graphics. Mine has only 32. Can i somehow use memory on an external drive to make up for this?

External HD can be used for virtual ram on disk, but this extends only the system memory block, not the video memory. Video memory is not extended to disk because it would make the graphics so slow as to be unuseable.
