ok so I read that someone had the option under there BIOS to give the video card more Vram by using some of there ram... ya know like the sticks of ram that you buy in a computer store.. lol thats just for ppl who dont know what I'm talkin about, well anyways, I have 64mb of vram (video ram) and I am running vista.. yeah i know it's not a good idea.. but it works fine, other then bluescreening ALL THE DAMN TIME, and it also has a problem watchin videos.. in windows media player i can choose to watch em' at 50% zoom level.. but anything bigger then that.. it's just goes slow.. so the sounds is WAY ahead of the frames.. so if there really is a way to give ram to your vram could someone tell me.. or if there's a virtual video card program out there.. that would be nice to know.. thanks guys

VRAM is just one type of Video Memory, there are many others.
On-Board video is INFERIOR, and not adequate for an Operating System such as Windows Vista.
Aside from disabling BIOS Video Rom shadowing, which might solve the Blue Screen issue, your best bet is to buy a standard video card and forget about on-board.

Usually, the option of sharing system ram for video ram is something you would find on a laptop or a computer with an onboard graphics adapter.
Other than that, there are a few versions of some new cards that do this as well, such as Nvidia's TurboCache.
The only way to know if you can do it is to find out if you have onboard video, or a video card.
If you have onboard, you can probably change the amount allocated to video.
If you have a video card, there is a 90% chance that you cannot do it. The only way you could is if you have one of those turbocache cards.

in case you've been to improve, i could propose getting both a sparkling gadget or improve the board, CPU, RAM, and video card. Incremental improvements will purely grant you with incremental improvements and also you'd be restricted by technique of the former hardware structure your previous gadget is utilising. case in point going by technique of the specs you've now, your modern motherboard in all probability wouldn't have USB 2.0 ports, in all likelihood has a 4X AGP or a lot less pictures port, and is restricted to IDE not ordinary drives and could't take earnings of more recent DDR RAM if it is going to also slot interior the slots. it really is are some recommendations for a good funds gadget lower than $1000. concepts you this isn't a hardcore rig by technique of any potential yet truthfully solid sufficient to run maximum of what's accessible and nonetheless be less expensive. CPU: Intel middle 2 Duo E6300 or AMD Athlon X2 4200 twin middle $2 hundred RAM: 2 X 512MB twin channel DDR/2 $100 Motherboard: $80-$100 for a good one (searching on processor) Video Card: 256MB GeForce 7600GT (ideal deal for video games) $one hundred fifty in case you opt for to go complete board some thing of ways then... Case with potential furnish: $100 universal not ordinary stress: $60 for 200GB (IDE or SATA very almost an same fee now) DVD burner: 16 speeds opt for $50 or a lot less So envisioned fee for a sparkling gaming gadget could be $760 provide or take $100 up or down. extra note: in the adventure that your iPod is asserting it may't run at intense % move then your USB is operating at USB a million.a million (11 meg/sec move %). USB 2.0 (480 meg/sec) is notably quicker.

the only place you can allocate Video Ram to your PC is at BIOS (most allocate to a maximum of 64MB and minimum of 16MB )...but there is no other program which can do that
So my advise is that try to buy a graphics card with about 128 MB memory ...
your on-board Graphics chipset is the problem ...
when that is the case ..even if you add more Video Ram it will not help
-The aother problem is with vista ...it has alot of bugs thats why you pc is blue screeening every time when it encouters hose bugs and to write a memory dump file ....
