I've also read about the technology, "TurboCache". What does that mean? And if I upgrade my System RAM from a 512mb to a 1gig, would that make my video card go up to 512mb RAM (my current video card supports up to 512 with the TC technology).

QUOTE I've also read about the technology, "TurboCache". What does that mean? It means that crappy video cards will be able to steal a lot of RAM from your computer instead of using their own. Since PC RAM is much slower than video card RAM, this technology sucks.QUOTE And if I upgrade my System RAM from a 512mb to a 1gig, would that make my video card go up to 512mb RAM (my current video card supports up to 512 with the TC technology). Look, I've said this before so many times, and I'll say it again. A metaphor for what you just said is like putting a super charger on a Geo Metro (0.9 liter V3 engine). It's not going to help! You need a video card with all-around speed for it to be able to begin to use so much RAM. Video RAM will not increase system performance in any way, shape, or form, unless you are running recent games. Unless your video card costs at least $400, there is absolutely no reason for you to have 512 mb of video RAM! Why, you ask? Because by the time the video card is able to use that much RAM, its performance would have gotten so slow, that it would make no difference. It's a useless waste of money!
