Is It possible to assign virtual ram to an on board Video card?

is it possible to make and assign virtual ram or hard drive space to boost my on board video card capacity.



Reason, impatient and want to play games better before payday, when i can then go and get a video card|||err no lol



windows vista and directx 10 together have a good little feature that allows your system RAM to be used by the video card to keep frame rates up during gameplay (my 512MB 3870HD effectivly has 1.7GB if it needs it with 3GBs of DDR2 ram in my motherboard)



suggest you grab an extra gig of ram if you have windows vista but only 2gbs (if 32bit) or an extra 2gbs if only 4gbs (64 bit).



also suggest a 3870HD or 4870HD if upgrading|||Nope.



You are out of luck.



You can increase your system RAM, then either go into your BIOS and increase the shared RAM size, or cross your fingers and hope the onboard card will automatically increase the RAM it uses...



But honestly, if you don't meet the minimum system requirements for the game... you don't meet the minimum system requirements. No shortcuts.



Thus the downside to impatience and not reading system requirements before making a purchase.
