Would I get a better graphics performance if I change my 128mb graphics card to a 256mb graphics card?

A new card with more ram will work better but Im thinkin your old card is probably giving you the best graphics the game will allow anyway. I am thinking that you are trying to speed an internet game up. If you are playing online change your screen res to a lower mode and turn down some of the options in video mode...lower detail etc. If you use dialup networking dont expect much...

You should be able to access the card properties through control panel.  There you should be given a choice of acceleration methods.  If this does not have hardware acceleration listed as an option, it is probably either a low end 3d or 2d card.  Most 3d cards have an embedded heat sink that you can see when you look at it.  For ease of explaining, please visit my site below, and go to the computer talk section where you can see what a typical 3d card looks like.  If this is an older card, your game probably won't play right anyway.  Most games now require anywhere from 16-64 megabyte video, and a few newer ones as much as 128 megabyte.  For the best prices should you decide to replace the card please visit http://www.geeks.com and http://www.pricewatch.com  Both are good sources. \nYou can also go to Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Information to see what is listed as the manufacture and other info on your video card.  Hope this helps.

you havent specified how much you have and how much it shows, normally the ram will be shared for vram(video ram) also, like if you have 128mb , shared 32mb or .... will be reduced and showed in the system properties tab, because while upgrading and all the ram wont be reduced

definitely get more RAM - at least 1gb, and 2gb if you can. \n\nalso, a 250gb hard drive would be useful, and quite cheap.\n\nperhaps a new graphics card, 256mb....\n\nor get a mobo that supports pci-express and sata hard drive, with 3.4ghz P4...

It is better if you just use the 512 chip. Or the two 256 chips. If you use all the three the 512 will be used as if it is only a 256 chip.

The 64 MB is better.\n\nIf you ask me though, they're both horrible cards. I hope you don't plan on using it for gaming.

Basically, the more expensive the card, the better it is. Other than that go to Nvidia.com and check out the specs. The high the number of MIPs  the better the processor.

buy a new graphics card and install it.

nvidia geforce fx5500\nworks like a bomb also upgrade on the memory ur working on minimum requirments

this because of your graphic card\nthis game wanna 128 card\ni think this is the reason

The difference in memory installed is probably being used by your video card.  It looks like around 22MBytes.

I think it would, \nbut at the worst, you would have to replace the video card.  \n\nA reasonably inexpensive one would do, if you have problems,  such as the nvidia geforce 5200 or better.\n\nAlso, an additional 512megs of memory would be nice.\n\nI think your problem will be in the video card, (if it is a problem at all)  The 1.7ghz processor, is fast enough I think.

Can I just ask why do you need more than 256MB or even 128MB memory in your graphics card? Trust me, if you're looking for better performance in video games or graphical programs this is not the solution as 128MB - 256MB is perfectly well for high details video games.\n\nAnyway, I do not think it can be done. If that's what your motherboard accepts that that's it.

Like conradj213 said, you need to at least a 1.5 GHz processor to play good games, you also need upgrade your ram memory to one that at least has at least 256 MB you don't have to get rid of your old card you can buy another 128 MB and install it with out replacing your old car and you'll have a 256 MB RAM, harddrive is ok but you can upgrade it as well, 128 Mb video card, well it depends on what card you have, some are not compatible with some games, i remember seeing a 250 MB video card on amazon.com, the reviews said it was an awsome card for a low price.\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=br_ss_hs/104-4431882-2600711?search-alias=aps&keywords=video%20card

Mmm, don't really have enough information to tell you exactly how big of a difference. For example: some of the geforce 7900 cards are 256mb, some are 512mb. Either way, you're likely at least doubling your video memory, and going from agp to pci-ex, correct? It would make a huge difference, but Oblivion is a resource hog. It would be much smoother, but it wouldn't be perfect.

I'd recommend you attach a AGP card of arounfd 256MB, something like NVidia

Typically, you can't and wouldn't want to.\n\nThe GPU (graphics processing unit) is using a portion of main memory.  This is less efficient than having its own of course.  However, there's nothing you can do for a laptop.  If you're low on system memory then just add more.
