Re: computer graphic card memory

You are correct about the Celeron it has no cache. 
As a general rule, when I buy a new computer, I want the hardware not to be 
integrated.  Its cheaper and easier to make changes and 
repairs.

  size=3>I am 
  looking at new computer  and also thinking of buying a good charting 
  program. Dell told me  this new computer I am thinking of 
  purchasing has a graphic card that is 'integrated', meaning unremovable, 
  and also 4mb ram only.   He suggested I check first to see if it 
  may not be strong enough for my intended charting software program. 
  He also mentioned the cache is 256mb , and I read a good charting 
  program needs to work on 512mb cache.    I am thinking of 
  putting 256x2 mb ram onto this new computer. 
        Is Cache & Ram 2 different kinds of 
  memories?  I thought I know I lot, but now I really think I know 
  nothing...:-( TYIA for any guidances.... Have a nice weekend, 
  all of you :-)<SPAN
