Can I increase the dedicated video ram for the onboard graphics?

According to the manual, there is a BIOS setting: "Internal Graphics Memory Size: Allows you to set the onboard graphics memory size. Options are: 32M~1024M. (Default: 64M)

I don't think there's any way of readily knowing that, but I'd guess it's not much larger that what's needed to support a framebuffer for the highest display resolution it supports, that being roughly 2048x1152. In other words, I'd wager the video memory is in the ballpark of 8MB. But it doesn't really matter for these devices: All they are are simple framebuffers; they don't provide any texture storage or 3D acceleration or otherwise make use of their internal memory for things that a traditional (internal) video card does; all the rendering is do by your PC's CPU, and memory from your regular old RAM is used for the rendering before updates are sent out to the display display adapters.

Add more memory, you can play any games but it's meant more for business applications. Hope this helps .

Yes you should be able, depending on your processor and amount of RAM available

You can add a new mini-pci graphics card if you want. The shipped video is using the built-in graphics on the motherboard.

Yes you can, HOWEVER it may require some adjustments to video settings in the BIOS for certain setups. So bear that in mind if you have trouble getting the system to boot after installing it. I ran into this little problem myself, but its easily fixed.

Like Tom said, unless you're developing or playing at 4K resolutions, the extra VRAM doesn't really help much

add some more ram and it will no problem, there is an empty slot. It comes with 1 4gb ram. The video is shared with onboard ram.

I can't find anything specific regarding upgrading the memory, so my guess is that the memory can't be upgraded.

it has a pcie slot so i dont think it really matters if the memory on a dedicated graphic card is dd2/ddr3 so yes you can

If you disabled the onboard video (if equipped) in set up and installed the drivers, the card should use the 512MB, not any of the system memory. It may be necessary to tell the computer which video slot your card is in AGP, PCI, or PCI-e, again this is in the setup which you access at boot.

Although it has an integrated video chip. It would be wise to install a dedicated video card for smoother visuals when watching videos or browsing the web. What kind of video card needed depends on what you plan on doing.

probably limited by your (you probably have )onboard video card -you can get one and add it hopefully

I don't think it is dedicated. I believe there is an amount of the system RAM that you can allocate to video. But it's still not like having a dedicated video card.

Yes the ram can be changed. Th graphics can be changed but the card would take an expansion slot unless you purchase the pc without the integrated video card.

I suggest you look at the rear of your pic to see if there is an empty pic slot. Once you establish there is space you'll be able to use this video card.
