What usb adaptable graphics cards have at least 512mb of memory?

Where have you seen a USB graphics card? There are none AFAIK. Soon with USB 3.0 there will be some ways to do this, and I think they will ALL have more than 512mb because only very old cards have that much.


You have Acre Aspire computer with an AMD Athalon 64 3500 with 512mb ddr2 will it play Oblivion okay?

Read the system requirements for the game. The critical factor is not the computer speed it is the graphics card. If you have a separate one with 128 mb memory or higher, it should play but only at low resolution. Nvidia 7600 or higher, ATI 1300? or higher.

In theory it will run faster with the 512Mb stick, as the computer only needs to send and receive date from one source, as opposed to two, which takes more system resources (regardless of the memory size of the two sticks).

Do you need 32bit or 64bit for 4gb of ram?

You can use either a 32bit or 64bit operating system (OS) for 4GB of RAM. 4GB of memory is the limit a 32bit OS can handle, this includes any memory that your graphics card has, so your computer may recognise only 3.5GB of RAM if you have a 512MB GPU. You will need a 64bit os that will use all of the ram.
