I currently have the Radeon 9600 Mobile 128 mb video card and 256 mb of memory. I am planning to upgrade my video card to a Radeon 9800 256 mb video card and either 512 mb or 1 gig of memory. What would upgrading these two departments do? I am pretty sure the video card is for demanding graphic programs (NL), but what does memory do? I have heard it helps run games better which is one of my goals. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps. Summary of current specs:
Processor: 1ghz
Memory: 256 MB
Video Card: Radeon 9600 128 mb
Future specs:
Processor: 1 ghz
Memory: 512 mb or 1 gig
Video Card: Radeon 9800 256 mb
