Your instinct is right:  it has both dedicated memory and shared memory (ATI calls it "HyperMemory").  You can have up to 256M of dedicated memory, and up to 128M more of shared.  It's actually a nice feature, since you can tune how much shared memory to use depending on what you're doing (and if you hate shared memory on principle you can just leave it off).\n\nThe second link below is about the 200M for Intel-based systems.  It looks like that version doesn't have shared memory, just dedicated.

I really would reconsider upgrading the memory only.\n\nThe reality is that your PC is very old and needs to be upgraded.  For $100 you could buy a good used PC where the memory you're gonna buy is gonna cost around $40\n\nAnyway...you'll need:\n\nTechnology: SDRAM - non-ECC\nForm Factor: DIMM 168-PIN\nUpgrade Rule: Max 128 MB module\n\nGood luck!

No there's not a way around it I'm afraid, you'll have to buy more memory. The good news is it'll be cheap for you, probably less than your monthly broadband subscription as you probably have an older system. If you post your RAM specs on here or email me I can tell you what you need and how to install it into your system

the main thing is ... at least 512 RAM, if not 1 GB\n\neverything else should be OK

According to the HP website info for that model, it can be upgraded to a maximum 512 MB. It takes PC133 SDRAM and has 2 DIMM slots. (Note: While it can physically hold 2x 512, it may not be able to address the 1GB of memory if installed.)\n\nSo you'll have to get a couple of 256MB SDRAM 133MHz PC133 and put one into each of the slots.\n\nNote: Before you go shopping, check what's there currently. The specifications for that computer said that it came with 256, but didn't say whether that was in the form of 1x 256MB module, or 2x128 MB module. If there is a DIMM slot still free, then you only need to get one more module and add it in. If not, then you'll have to pull out the 2x 128MB modules and replace them  with 2x256MB modules.

find the motherboard online and check how much memory it can hold

do you have onboard grapics? If so it could be the shared memory eating up 8MB.

go to www.crucial.com\nthere you will be able to find out your memory type\nmost probably a small software will be downloaded\nthe execution of that small software could result in telling you the type of RAM your system can accept\nok

You have this listed under laptop, notebooks...\n\nAll you have to do is install more RAM... I assume this is what you are looking to do.  Go to Crucial Technologies... I wouldn't buy from there though, just use the system scan, they will tell you what you already have, and what is available to add.  Then either go to Tiger Direct or Comp USA.. and get some.  I just slapped some pny in mine, and it's working so much better!  Make sure you let them know it's for a laptop or notebook as well, as they are differant

YIKES, anything other than onboard video!!! Use the Geforce 2 with the newest NVIDIA drivers and you will far surpass anything the SIS chipset could offer. Then upgrade as soon as possible.

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

Sony VAIO's are cool and really sexy. lol. but they're pricey. I personally have a Dell and it's great. Absolutely no complaints with Dell. I have a 'Latitude: D610'. There could be a newer model, i don't know. I got mine in Feb this year and i love it. Just make sure you have good anti virus and firewalls and you'll be set!
