  Hi again,
  
  I was just wondering, is it actually possible to just upgrade the Graphics Memory? Currently mine is only 64MB and todays computer games are simply much larger than that...so...it it possible? If so, how?

  No it is not possible, your best option would be to upgrade your GFX.

  Hi again guys,
  
  I am really confused and I would appreciate if any of you can help.
  
  I currently have a Compaq Desktop bought all the way from 2004. Up till now, I have upgraded parts of it including Expanding RAM & Changing the DVD-ROM. But I would like to go a step further and upgrade the Graphics Card to something better.
  
  Currently, my graphics card is an Intel 8XXXX series which only has 32MB of memory. Now, I want to upgrade the Graphics Card overall to a ATI Radeon or Nvidia. The problem is, I'm not sure how to.
  
  Do I have to change my processor or motherboard or something? Or is it just a matter of plugging out the old card and replacing to a new one?
  
  I would also want to upgrade my hard disk from 80GB to 120GB. Is it possible to just add into the CPU unit or do I have to actually throw my old one away and add the new one?
  
  My system specs are as follows:
  Compaq Presario SR1238AP
  Pentium 4 2.8GHz
  768 MB of DDR Ram
  
  Your help is really, really, really appreciated.

  You should probably be looking for AGP graphic cards from nVidia and aTi. Hope your mobo at leasts supports 8x AGP speed, otherwise you might as well buy a new computer.
  
  [edit]
  if you have enuf power in psu it should be alright to just add another hdd in.
