Computer trouble. . . .?
I have a NVIDIA GeFORCE Go 6150 graphics card. It says I have 64MB of space, but can go up to 128MB. Is there a way I can get it to 128MB?
Update:BTW, I've got plenty of system memory.
Update 3:I let know why I'm wondering....
There's a new computer game coming out and I want to play it. (World in Conflict). I checked my system specs and i'm gold on everything except it say's that I only have 64MB of card memory or something like that. I looked up some information on my card, and it say's that it can get up to 128MB on it. Which is what the game requires.
Now, how do I get the other 64MB? Like I said, I have the memory to spare for it, I just don't know how to get it, or if I can.

If you buy a new video card. That is a 128.
It will get itself up to 128MB, but unfortunately, it does this by pulling the other 64MB from your system memory.
This is becoming more and more common in low-end video cards - they have a modest amount of memory onboard, but make up for it by using system memory, much like an onboard video controller that's built-on to your motherboard.
Needless to say, a card that has real memory built-on to the card is vastly preferable, and will give much better performance.
The 6150 doesn't have any memory. It steals it from the system ram. You'd be a lot happier if you spent $50 or $60 on a card with 256MB dedicated memory.
you sure that is a 128 MB chief? Because the Go's are usually ramped lower than others to save power for laptops.
