My Notebook is an Acer Aspire 5610-4610. I can expand the Ram up to 4 gb, but I don't know if that includes video ram. I do want to play games (guilty) on my notebook, but not the high end games such as call of duty or battlefield 2.

My video/graphics card is an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950. Will the video ram expand if I add more Ram?

The Intel web site says "Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) 3.0 supports up to 224MB of video memory; system memory is allocated where it is needed dynamically". So yes, the more ram you add to your system, the more will go to the Video chip, up too 224 mb of video. It its set up to share onbaord ram with the video ram...Also the more ram you have the better the laptop will run, and that will help with video speed. Ram is all ways a good thing...You can not have too much Ram ever. Good luck

Sometimes if its integrated graphics, it will give you more video RAM if you put extra RAM in, e.g.
RAM / Vid RAM
512 = 32, 1024 = 64, 2048 = 128
etc...
It totally depends on what type of graphics card you have, for example, i have a dell inspiron 1501 with an ATI 1150 graphics, and you can set the amount of video memory available in the ati control panel

usually you'd have to buy a new graphics card(not really possible for a laptop). There is a chance that your graphics ram is shared with the main system ram. So you could set in the bios(black screen that appears when you startup) to allocate more of the main ram to the graphics card.
to do this you would have to press something like delete or f1 as the computer starts up and then go through some menus

Yes it can share ram for the video if you set it up in BIOS for memory sharing....

Buy a bigger, faster video card.
