Ok then... sticking to the questions (because you asked multiple questions here in your single question)...

No, you cannot go into the BIOS and change the DEDICATED video memory amount. You can go into the BIOS and change the SHARED video amount, to take more away from the system Ram (which you have 3gb of) but that laptop has 64mb reserved only for Video use. That is all. No More, No Less.

Your other question... Well, it is theoretically possible to use a different video card in a laptop, because there are currently a few USB video cards on the market http://www.amazon.com/USB-2-0-VGA-Display-Adapter/dp/B000WTI6CI , and your laptop is equipped with a PCMCIA express slot... which could allow you to eventually purchase a PCMCIA video card like this http://www.amazon.com/Vtbook-PCMCIA-Typeii-Video-Adapters/dp/B000N2TDNA Now I've given you links to alternatives to your built-in GPU... but you have to remember... these are infant offerings. The technology for USB and PCMCIA video cards has not come anywhere close to making them equal to desktop cards. You will notice that $210 PCMCIA video card only has 32mb of Dedicated Video memory. These expansion slot video cards are made for additional monitor support... not for gaming. Hardware designers WILL eventually catch up, but the tech just isn't there at the moment. So, to answer your question... Can you disable your GPU and use another? Yes, but the current available replacements would not perform as well as yours.

You can't just add more RAM, unless you change your operating system. I imagine that you are using XP or Vista and the 32-bit version. You need to use a 64-bit operating system before the machine can recognise more than about 3GB of RAM. (That's why a lot of laptops have 3 GB.) You can buy a new version 64-bit version of Windows, but you would have to ask yourself if playing this particular game is worth the cost and the hassle of an operating system upgrade. And remember, a new operating system may mean that some of your old software and, especially, any old hardware (printers etc) may not "talk" to the new OS, since you will need new drivers.

I would recommend against trying to fiddle with the BIOS unless you know *exactly* what any change would do. These days re-setting it is fairly easy, but the chance of your getting the right results are small unless you have a very clear idea of the processes involved. However, if you have a source that tells you exactly what setting to change, and what to change it to, then you could give that a try. But first you should make sure you have seen how to re-set your BiOS to its original settings.

A quick check on Google shows that some BIOSes will not let you change the way in which the graphics card can "grab" some of the RAM, but it looks as though most will not. The two sites I quote had replies about two different systems, neither of which is an HP, but you may find the replies illuminating, if not encouraging. Try going to the HP site and asking on one of their forums if the setting can be changed - they may have more specific information.

I think you will find that upgrading the graphics card is somewhere between very difficult and impossible. Most graphics solutions for laptops are chips on the motherboard, which means you can't change them.

Sorry to be so negative, but that's the problem with laptops - they are much less flexible than desktops. And that's the problem with the latest games - they tend to demand the latest hardware to get get good results.

It just sounds like your graphic card needs to be updated. The processor and RAM sound fine, but these days you need to have a graphic card with at least 256 mb of dedicated memory to run any well.
