    If i were to upgrade to 64 bit os and 4gbs of ram, will my dedicated gpu benefit from this. Please explain how.
    It says i have 1529 aproximate graphic card memory and this is with 3gb of ram. If i upgrade to 4gb of ram and a new 64 bit os windows vista will that number go up. THis is important to me so if you can answer this, it will be appriciated.

    no probably not the 32 bit os can recognize a bit more than 3 gigs of total memory so you are probably already seeing the maximum performance from your GPU

    1 GB of extra RAM wont do much
