Any VESA-compatible graphics card can be used with Windows Vista, albeit with limited functionality. A DirectX 9 compatible card with at least 128 MB of RAM is required to use the Aero interface.
256 MB graphics card support pixel shader 3.0
Good and cheap are common words in America today. So are 3d graphics cards. Graphics cards can be relatively cheap, you just have to know what you are in for. If you need a 64MB+ Video Card compatible with games like (CS, AA, BF2, SWAT) don't use your motherboards graphic chip. I know for a fact that the Intel GL graphics chips do not include Hardware Transform & Lighting which is needed to play the above games to full potential. NVIDIA and ATi are the nation's leading producers of consumer graphics cards. I personally recommend NVIDIA. They used to have a great graphics card, with 128mb ram, with hardware transform & lighting for around $39.95 USD on sale at major retailers like BestBuy and CircuitCity. I don't know the validity of this now, but search those sites and your local retailers. What I will say is, don't go crazy on those 256, and 512 mb graphics cards. If a game says it needs 128 MB of graphics memory, don't think a 512 mb stick would be this "miracle of performance." I wish the best of luck to all who are interested.
Graphics cards do not typically function in this manner. While cards can, in some instances (using SLI or CrossFire), share resources, the memory address spaces are kept separate, and the GPU workload is simply divided. This is also dependent on the game software itself. Also, neither of the two methods for connecting cards in the aforementioned scenario work on AGP or PCI buses, but only on PCI-E buses.
The computer can be used to find the MB of the graphics card. The graphic card is usually mounted on the graphics card reader. The MB of the graphic card can be read by looking at the drive of the graphics card.
Windows XP is compatible with an innumerable range of hardware and software. It can be run on any AMD or Intel processor with at least 64 MB of RAM (though not very well). It supports USB, FireWire, SCSI, SATA (with drivers), graphics cards, sound cards, video capture ards, and pretty much any device you can think of. On the software front, most Windows programs can be run on Windows XP. Almost all popular software developed these days can be run on it.
An integrated graphic processor as oposed to a discrete graphic processor. Graphic processor is the same as a video card. Integrated video cards: Integrated video cards are built-in to the system motherboard and use the system's processor (CPU) and memory to create graphics. They're fine for applications such as word processing and email and for the Internet, but not great for gaming or other graphic-intensive applications. While integrated video cards can process some complex graphics such as 3D images, they have to share the CPU and memory with other programs. If the CPU and memory are overloaded or busy processing other information, it can really slow down the graphics. Discrete video cards: Discrete video cards turn up the performance compared to integrated video cards. They are separate, or discrete, from the motherboard and have their own processor, a specialized graphics processing unit, or GPU. They don't have to share the CPU with other programs. Discrete video cards include memory of their own, measured in megabytes (MB). Graphics memory is used by the GPU to accelerate the graphics on your monitor and make gaming, movies and other entertainment intensely realistic. In general, the more memory the graphics card has the better.

Yes it is recommended to have a 64MB or higher DirectX 9.0c graphics card. Although it is playable on a 32MB graphics card. Here are the minimum and recommended requirements: The minimum system requirements are as follows: COMPUTER: IBM PC or 100% compatible OPERATING SYSTEM: Microsoft™ Windows 98SE/2000/XP (95/NT not supported) CPU: Intel Pentium® 4 1.3 GHz (or AMD Athlon ™ equivalent) RAM: 256Mb GRAPHICS: 100% DirectX 9.0 compatible 32 MB * (see below for support cards) SOUND: Windows 98SE/2000/XP compatible Sound card (100% DirectX 9.x compatible) CD-ROM: Quad-speed (4x) CD-ROM drive HARD DRIVE: 2GB free disk space INPUT DEVICES: 100% Windows 98SE/2000/XP mouse and keyboard The recommended system requirements are as follows: CPU: Intel Pentium® 4 1.5Ghz (or AMD Athlon™ equivalent) RAM: 512 MB GRAPHICS: 100% DirectX® 9.0 compatible 3D Card w/ 64 MB SOUND: Windows 98SE/2000/XP compatible Sound card (100% DirectX® 9.x compatible) CD-ROM: Eight-speed (8x) CD-ROM drive or faster. HARD DRIVE: 2GB free disk space
It has 512 MB RAM,the difference 8 MB is actually shared graphics memory.You can decrease it to 1MB and get ur 7 MB back, but ur graphics will be poorer

Very unlikely. you might be able to squeeze it at 30 fps at low graphics with some tweaks. 128mb is not only too little but only integrated graphics cards have such low memory sizes. i highly recommend buying dedicated graphics. Integrated are part of the cpu and are not ideal for gaming. i recommend Nvidia GTX series, or Nvidia GeForce series if you are low on budget.
