What Is Dedicated Card And Integrated Card?

Dedicated means a separate graphics card that's dedicated to running your graphics. Integrated means the graphics processing is integrated into your CPU (main processor).

In Viao VGN "Approx. 2040MB (Max)" What Does This Mean?

It means your card has a dedicated amount of 256MB VRAM (RAM dedicated to the graphics card). However, 2040GB max looks like it can share the installed RAM when needed to provide up to 2GB of RAM for the graphics.

Viao SVE15134CXS Video Memory Is Shared System Memory! What Does This Mean And What Is Its Exact Video Memory?

Because the graphics is integrated it will use the system's DRAM as and when it needs to as it has no dedicated VRAM.

4. Can I Upgrade My Memory In Any Of My Laptop?

That's It Thank You! :zip:

if you mean VRAM the answer is no because it's built into the graphics card. But if you mean system memory, i.e. "RAM" then the answer is "it depends." If you have an open slot you can add more RAM. Or if your laptop supports 8GB but both slots are populated with 2GB modules you can swap them out for 4GB modules.

Crucial is a big name in computer memory and they have an easy way to determine your system's RAM specs. Go to www.Crucial.com and run the scanner on their home page. It will check your system, see if you have space and find the appropriate type of memory for that machine. You can trust their recommendations.
