    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.. :faint:

    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.

    I think it would be hard to find 1GB DDR now + expensive

    you cant do that unless its TurboCache or HyperMemory enabled graphic cards. Where they share system memory (RAM).

    what graphic card do you have ?

    Well, depends on the laptop - certain settings of the BIOS *actually* allows one to tune up or down the shared video memory, generally from 8mb to the maximum amount available (256mb?).:mrgreen:
