   Is a Video Card the same thing as a Graphics Card??....just very curious...i noticed that my computer has a 64MB of shared video memory which i think is the reason why i cant watch HD video smoothly...am i right...i want to upgrade to at least a 256MB video card...Do you think that my problem is because of the very little 64MB video memory....I saw a graphics card with 256MB for only 40 bucks and i think imma buy it...PLEASE HELP...

   what system do u have?

   check your specs, and see if you have either a PCI Express x1.0 or 2.0 card slot.

   if you do, you can get a good vid card aftermarket for $100-200.  Just check to see if it is a 1.0 or 2.0 card b4 u order

   also, pack as much system ram as you can get under your hood.  it is dirt cheap nowadays, and makes all the difference.

   i would say snag that card, and start there.  Also, stack up with RAM.

   check your specs and make sure what you are getting is compatible.  shouldn't take too long.

   $40 card should make a world of difference.
