Well I have a problem. I am always attracted by facinating games. I wanted to test that Evil Genies in the last Digit CD. But the problem is that I have a 4MB Video memory and the game asks 16MB. My friend says that his RAM and Video memory is shared. Can I also take some RAM memory and allocate it for Video memory. I have a 128+256 MB SD Ram and a Petium III. The video card info is show in the screenshot

If u have an intel gfx card, dload its drivers,

mine from 4mb went to 32 mb :D

from 20fps in CS i got 60fps.. That was my old pc.

your friend must be having a onboard video card (generally without agp)
the onboard card shares memory from ram by default. you can increase the shared memory to a mxamum of 64mb depending on your ram, btw your ram can fetch you 64mb shared memory

Dude this is the intel 82810e, dont know why i missed it, i had it 2-4 months back

Just get the drivers fromintel, they make the card work like a 32 mb card and make it support/emulate opengl TOo.
