There's the memory, it's being used, you only have 3mb left. The 8426MB available is your Physical RAM and Virtual RAM combined.

it would be nicely worth getting the 1gb one in case you pick for to play at bigger resolutions (which i might think of you will possibly - particularly with those greater modern video games) The greater reminiscence the pics card has, the greater effective overall performance you will get at bigger resolutions. 1gb would be a sturdy investment. as for the settings you would be waiting to play at, bear in mind that laptops are not particularly meant as gaming machines. The processor is nice for what maximum folk might use a laptop for, even even though it has a lowish clock velocity in line with middle which will carry issues back. The pics card is stunning for a laptop, cellular variations of pics enjoying cards are consistently going to accomplish slighlty worse than their laptop opposite numbers yet in something like fallout 3, i might anticipate it to be waiting to play it at an excellent decision with the a number of settings on intense - with perchance some on medium with good framerates for the main section (anticipate slowdown at those placing particularly places. crysis - in all probability amix of mediums and highs at an excellent decision with sturdy framerates. the comparable particularly is going for the others, gears will in all probability play o.k. and lots cry 2 resembling crysis wish this enables.

" can I increase this in anyway? " No, what you buy installed is what you have to use as the graphics card chip set is made into and as part of the mother board and is not upgradeable or replaceable.
