Can you upgrade video memory on a Acer Aspire 5100 laptop?

That depends on what kind of video card you have. If you have an integrated video card (most likely) you may be able to allocate some more shared memory to the video by simply adjusting a setting in the BIOS. You can find out how to do that in the system manual. However, many BIOS config program will not allow you to allocate more than a certain percentage of system memory, so increasing your total system memory might allow you to set a higher percentage of shared memory to the video adapter. However, if you have a dedicated video card, it would have it's own memory built into it, and therefore you wouldn't be able to increase it, short of replacing that video adapter entirely with one that has more memory already on it. Check your system specs with the manufacture and see which you have, and proceed from there.

How do you increase graphic card memory?

Many motherboards with integrated video use a certain amount of system-RAM as your video RAM. If this is the case you may be able to go into BIOS and change how much RAM is being used for this purpose. Note that in these cases increasing video RAM will decrease the amount of system RAM.Other motherboards with integrated video have dedicated video RAM built-in. In these cases your only option is to replace the motherboard or, if the motherboard has an available expansion slot, disable onboard video & install a proper video card.

How do you add memory to a graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS that has 512MB already but a limit of 768MB?

There is no way to upgrade the memory on a graphics card. The "limit" of memory is the maximum amount of shared video memory that the graphics card will occupy in the system's RAM. The best way to get better graphics performance in this situation is to buy a similar NVIDIA card and SLI them together.

If you want to fully upgrade your computer what should you upgrade first?

A full upgrade would be your CPU to a higher speed, your RAM for more memory and your video card so you can play faster games. But you have to be careful, your power supply that is installed was installed with the wattage for that particular system. If you do a full upgrade you may find that your power supply can no longer produce enough power to your motherboard, then you would have to add a new power supply also.
