Yes you can. Computers are modular and are easy to upgrade these days. First, you must make sure you know which type of memory your computer will accept. The easiest way to do this is to look up your computer's specification (technical details) online.

Memory upgrades usually consist of buying a 2, 4, or sometimes 8 memory sticks. These can be purchased at any big box electronic store. It's a good idea to replace all the memory in your computer at once. Mixing your old memory with new memory is not recommended if they are of different designs.

There are many advantages to upgrading your RAM. The first is you will gain a valuable understanding of computer hardware basics. Second, you will save paying a technician to do the same job at some ridiculous charge to you. Thirdly, you will notice an immediate and obvious performance increase in your computer.

Good luck.

You most likely have an integrated video card. Integrated video cards do not have their own memory, and use system memory (RAM) for video. Your video card is using 32MB of your ram. On most computers you can change the amount available to video by logging into bios and changing video memory amount.
