Buy a new video card. Look for a card at http://www.newegg.com but check the specs on your computer. Getting a new card will be the best bet.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

if you are using on board graphics then you also need to take the amount of physical ram into account, if you only have 256 ram then increasing on board to 128 will leave only 128 physical....defeating the object.
i would get a dedicated add on card, this will also free up all yourphysical ram.
depending on how old your motherboard is, you have up to 3 choices of card type....PCI, AGP or PCI-E in the latest boards.
now, PCI is very much standard, and will be your cheapest option.
AGP has a few types and some use different voltages, the wrong one in the wrong board will fry....check with local supplier first.
PCI-E will be most expensive but if your board has this option then it will give best performance
these cards will not fit each others slots, for example, an AGP card will not fit a PCI slot, check what slots you have (PCI will certainly be one, all motherboards use them still)

If you have integrated video, go into BIOS and it should be under Integrated Devices or something like that. Each BIOS is different, so it's hard to tell you exactly how without knowing what computer you have.

Find what your motherboard will support and buy a new graphics card. You should be able to get one REALLY cheap if you are only looking for a 64mb or 128mb one.
This is probably your best and only option.

in all probability. examine your BIOS, it may or won't provide help to advance your snap shots memory to an quantity. notwithstanding, be conscious that your snap shots memory on an integrated GPU would be taken out of your substantial memory.

You can't as far as I know. You need to install the extra physical memory onto the graphics card.

you go to the bios search for shared memory size then put it on 128 (if you have the option)
if you like the answer please rate it
