I don't know much about GPU's since I'm barely gaining an interest in pc gaming but is it possible to do this? Will it make a difference? What is the most important aspect/spec in determining the performance a graphics card?

Yes if you have onboard video graphics. Your bios settings can change the amount you can dedicate. But when you dedicate more to video processing you take away from your physical ram you already have. So if you have 1gb of ram and dedicate 256mb to video, then you only have 756 ram for programs.
That is why having a dedicated video card with its own memory and processor is the best alternative.

Only if you have a "shared memory" PC.
In general, a video card has its own memory, and AGP/PCI-E already have protocols to pull stuff out of main memory. So it's not necessary to "dedicate" more main memory to the video card.
This issue usually comes up when you run into cheap PC's with built-in video, which is another chip on the mainboard, and shares the main memory with the rest of the system. In the BIOS, you can set the video to take up more memory. Your system will then have less, of course. Exact location of this will depend on the video and the BIOS versions. And this does not really improve performance in any way, merely allows the card to display higher resolutions and more colors.

maximum charities are a employer and are run as such, there is largely a small share of the money accumulated it incredibly is properly used for the purpose that it grow to be donated for, the London Marathon believe take a multitude of money for his or her employer and a great quantity is then exceeded to different charities, those charities then take a great quantity for his or her employer, something is then used for the reason that it incredibly is accumulated for, the difficulty is, the quantity left over is largely a fragment of what it may actually be, all charities have expenditures to pay for, those expenditures are used for the acquisition of plush workplaces with plush furnishing, intense salaries for the managers and directors, employer autos that are consistently Mercedes, BMWs, Jaguars and different intense end autos like those, you never see a director of a Charity driving a Ford concentration or a Renault Clio, or any vehicle as lowly as that, all of them stay in super costly residences and all of it is funded through those that provide their money to help others, or to fund distinctive analyze courses, there are some distance too many human beings creaming money off of the precise in the previous what's left is disbursed out.

you can't.
you would have to get a card with either a turbo-cache function (old cards), or a card with 512mb (or more) of onboard memory.
the highest priced cards have a gig, but they're a generation behind.
an 8800 series with either 640mb or 768mb is the top of the line right now.
use newegg to get a new card if you need it.

and if you can't afford that then a 7900 seires will work
