    Ok she my prob is simple ...(i think lol)...i bought a new Acer Aspire 4520 and some say it's suppose to get 1 Gig of video memory, but in my BIOS it only lets me choose 64Mb to 256Mb, and the video chipset is Nvidia GeForce 7000m. I also have some Acer Tools that came with it pre installed but they don't give me any more information then what i already know and nothing leads me to belive that it can so far......so i guess my question would be ..does anybody know anything about these laptops or have one themselves that could give me some advice ? thanks for any help :)

    I expect you can, but why would you want to? There's nothing a GF7000 can do without hideous lag that even needs as much as 256MB RAM.

    True, but unlike overclocking which does yield a performance benefit, even if only slight, adding extra memory will have zero effect unless you're actually running out in the first place.

    well yeah the whole reason was to see if i can play call of duty 5 on it ......it all goes good untell i actually start the match then its to choppy to enjoy , i thought if i had more ram i would be able to select more memory and deticated to video but im not shure......im going to get GPU-Z and see what that tells me , i might try O/C just a little and see what happens.......thanks for the advice everyone :)
