Re: upgrade

Hello,
here are the system requirements for Vista:

With 62 MB of graphics RAM, you will probably not get the best experience.

Greetings,

Re: upgrade

Most laptops have no way to upgrade video ram in the normal sense. What you
might be able to do is use the laptops BIOS setup and allocate more system
memory to the video, but that will take away available system ram for
windows.

Re: upgrade

You can run Vista with any video card, but to use Aero or other advanced
features will require a modern video card.
