I read somewhere that a on board graghics card takes it's memeroy from your system ram and the limit is 256 mb.That is what i read but last night i was playing price of persia the warrior within and before the game is launched it shows you your specs right.

Everything is correct but i notice it said i have a 1024 mb video card.How does this work?So i'm thinking can my pc play starcraft 2 which requires a 512 mb graghics card or do i need one of those g forces.I'm completly confused so can someone explain it to me.

Here is my system specs for starcraft 2

3.0 ghz dual core
2 gb ram

and then ofcourse i have no idea how this on board graphics card thing works.Do you think my pc can take starcraft 2

Theres no set limit exactly, its determined by the graphic chipset itself. Its entirely possible that you have 1 gig of video power. you can visit , scroll down and click on "run overdrive anonymously". You must do it with internet explorer. It will tell you exactly what you have for hardware.
