how do you shift some memory from push to vga?

this should be moderately simple. go to the computers bios/cmos menu at system boot. Now look around surrounded by the settings for apeture suize on video memmory (it should be listed as one of those). presently set the apeture size to at least 64MB presently save and exit the bios and boot in general, your system will now report smaller amount RAM and should report more video ram.



I hope this help. I've no experiance with the computer model planned, i'm speaking from building and customizing my own desktop systems.

as for the askers question the sounds approaching he was ripped bad, a PC with solitary 4MB VGA graphics that is spicy unless the computer is over 10 years old contained by which cast it would enjoy been aboutstate of the art posterior then.



any system presently needs atleast 512MB RAM and 256MB video RAM, smaller quantity than that and whats the point unless you only want a word processor that runs approaching a snail on a go slow.
within your dell latitude you may not be able to smoothly. You will need to find a slot in the BIOS to allow you to tweaking the graphics aperture size...Unfortunately you will not be able to install any more strike to counteract the effects of "shifting" the currently installed to Graphics.



Adding a graphics card is not an option most of the time for laptop computers minus changing the motherboard which would be a bit difficult to find one to fit the case.
Best tactic is to put in a Video Grahics card, cheap one, about $50 installs unforced and adds between 32-256 megs.
