ok so im getting a new laptop and the highest video card i could get, without having an integrated one, was a 128 nvidia graphics card. if a game requires ... 256 will the game work by taking away from my ram or will it just not work at all??? i have 3 gb of ram so it would be a really good thing if it would.|||Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. Integrated video cards aren't good for playing games and chances are, it won't work. Doesn't hurt to try though|||As per Justin's answer, no. General memory and graphic card memory are totally separate. If your graphics card does not have enough memory, then the game will not play properly (usually there will be display issues, or the game may not run at all).
If you want to play games then you really need to invest in some decent graphics hardware, however this isn't necessarily expensive. My Benq Joybook R55V laptop comes with an integrated nVidia Geforce Go 7400 and it plays many new games just fine.
At the top end of the market, the Dell XPS and Alienware high performance PCs are definitely the way to go, if you can afford one.
