how can i get more ram and video card memory with out buying more|||Good question...theoretically, you can...but you didn't need your HDD anyway, did you?
Short of using Virtual Memory on the HDD (or using Vista's little trick of using thumb drives for additional system RAM), additional System RAM is easy!
If you have a computer with DDR2, it'll run you $15 for a 1Gb stick of Kingston RAM (RAM I paid $150 for with a smile 16-20 months or so ago).
If your computer is no more than about 3 years old, chances are your RAM is DDR2. If your board can support values over 1Gb, and you have free memory slots, buy a 1Gb stick and slot it in (just remember turn-off AND unplug your computer and ground yourself before touching the motherboard or other components inside the case - or the memory module[s] themselves!).
If you have no tech work experience, that's about as far as I'm comfortable seeing you work...for the Video Card installation (of a new card, since you can't add more memory without some serious tech skills, uber expensive tools, and some very pricey parts!)...pay a tech to do it for you...it's easy enough, but it's also easy to screw-up. (If the tech is a friend, [s]he can teach you to do it the right way!)
Good Luck!|||you cant. If you need more ram you are going to have to buy it. In order to get more video card memory you are going to have to upgrade your video card. I recommend a 256mb or a 512mb.|||you can't. video card memory is set on the actual video card, so if you neefd a better video card, you will have to buy a better video card.
The same with the computer's ram/ memory. this can't be added by simply closeing a program or downloading more off the internet. it doesn't work that way.
These are known as hard ware limitations and can only be fixed through replacement, I.E. and upgrade.
Hope this helps
