    Gotta question.

    My video card is a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (128 MB of shared RAM).

    Can I REPLACE it with a better one?

    If I cannot, how do I change settings so the card will have 256 shared RAM?

    A general rule of thumb would be if the notebook in the series, in your case the A105, does offer a dedicated GPU, then you will probably be able to replace it but I believe Intel's is integrated so that might not work. If that's the case, you might have to replace the entire mobo. Also, sometimes different series might use the same motherboard, so if your series, A105, does not offer a dedicated version, another series might.
