    A video card and graphics card are the same thing.

    Might as well buy a CPU and a Processor while you're at it

    You need to check if you've got any spare ram slots before you start buying more ram. If you haven't got any spare slots you will have to replace existing sticks with higher capacity ones. If you have got spare slots you need to check what memory type you've already got so that the extra ram is compatible.

    Adding a gig (1024MB) will give you a total of 1504MB, you could safely put the other 32MB back on your shared graphics leaving you with 1472MB, or with a new graphics card you'll get the other 32MB back giving you 1536MB.

    On the other hand, if an extra 32MB has made such a big difference you probably only need an extra 512MB.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Mostly for memory intensive applications, such as today's 3D games or video editing software such as Premiere.
