I am planning to buy a new graphic card say a 512 MB.
I currently have an ATI Xpress 200 integrated Graphics card that shares my system memory. I normally have 1024 MB RAM but part of the ram is being used by the graphic card for video RAM. And i am thus left with only 960 MB system RAM.
But i am very confused here...
If I buy a 512 MB graphic card for my PC will it share my system RAM?
will it be 1024 system ram taken off 512 Video Ram= only 512 system RAM remaining?
Will it share my system RAM this is very important for me!
I want to know whether the graphic cards video ram is seperate, and not used up by system ram!
Because if it uses up my system ram then i will have to by another 1 gig RAM memory slot which will cost money.
Can someonep please clarify this information for me.
Thx
