ram, its own ram
processing rate is super important
practically buy anything with big numbers
* erm not really.
Clock, bandwidth size and memory speed are more important then ram size.
Here is an example:
2GB GTX 285 would be completely out performed by a 1gb GTX 460, and totally destroyed by a 1.5gb GTX 480
Maybe you think that is a bad example, fine. A 512mb 8800gt would outperform a 1gb 9400gt. So DO NOT just buy "anything with big numbers".
Basically, look at ram last, and almost everything else first for gaming. Now for decoding, watching blu-ray and heavy graphics editing (and gaming on a resolution higher then 1080p), THEN ram size becomes a larger issue.
ATI 5970 is the best graphics card on earth.
I would suggest the GeForce gtx 550 ti
Depending on the graphics card in your computer it will state the graphics you have
Mia123 Of I.S.O.H Graphics.
having a dedicated makes computer run faster and smoother than haveing a shared card
Yes, but not at the highest graphics options.
Nvidia make some of the best graphics cards around. The Nvidia 550 ti is a very good card from their range.
Intel makes this particular, very high performance, graphics card while Nvidia is one of the best manufacturers in the known universe for the GMA X4500.
Although the Intel 4400 graphics card is not ranked as one of the best for gaming it is good for games.
You have 256mb there are no 258mb card but 256mb will do nicely
Here is a good article on using of Graphics Card,http://boddunan.com/component/content/article/37-new-technologies/3743-graphics-card.html?directory=3
Probably not - 3D graphics uses a lot of memory, and preferably an independent graphics card. Laptops usually share their RAM with video, audio and other tasks, which makes it unsuitable for 3D graphics.
There is no graphics card to change as the graphic chips are built into the motherboard. This is common with most makes of laptop computers.
It depends on your graphics card specifications and what resolution you run the game on
