this asian guy told me if my pc has a 480 MB RAM instead of 512... than this card will do the job... it will increase up 2 512.. because graphic card share memory.. he told me something like that is it tru ?|||Some video cards do "borrow" some of the RAM to perform their tasks. This is often referred to as "Shared video".
It is, however, possible to have 480 MB of memory without shared video in some cases. You may want to check the specifications of your computer more closely.|||It uses graphics memory to reduce the load on your other ram--so yes he is right.|||Hey,
More or less he is right. When it comes to videos or graphics, this card will take the load off of the processor and RAM. So, it won't increase your RAM, but it frees it up for other things.

The memory it has is used for video only|||He is right. Your PC has integrated graphics that does not have its own videoram. It is designed to share RAM from the system RAM on the motherboard.
Now when you install that graphics card with its own onboard videoram, your motherboard BIOS automatically STOPS allocating system RAM for integrated graphics. The system RAM previously used for graphics NOW become available again as system RAM. Overall system performance improves a bit. Gaming performance improves significantly with the discrete graphics card.
