Modding the Video RAM of my Laptop - Page 3

yes it all depends on if the laptop will allow him to change it but really its a pointless as it won't yield a fps increase in games as that chip is fail at 3d games...

but adding ram would be a nice choice rather than bothering the video memory.. adding ram would increase the laptop performance (beside gaming of course).. talking about ram i just bought 1Gb of DDR2 ram for my laptop for rm36 only from PC Fair yesterday.. so cheap ram nowadays..

but his is DDR and also most probably can support 1GB only

nah, it's the same mobo that i had on my previous laptop running IE2

..supports max 2gb.

more ram will increase overall system responsivness but will not help with gaming at all as i said before IIntel Graphics are huge failures at gaming graphics.. Don't bother with it...

well, at least for some games it will still improve a bit due to more vram available to the card..not everyone can afford a better gpu though..after ram are so cheap these days..no harm in adding more ram

no, DDR is more expensive than DDR2. approximately twice the price of DDR2 for the same amount of memory.

And you can't get 2GB modules, not easy.

price of ddr ram are quite costly as they are about to die out next year? Since ddr3 will be mainstream
