I recently installed GTA Vice City but then it said there wasn't enough video memory to run the program. My friend told me that it was due to the graphics card and how I had to buy another card with increased memory. Is there a way to increase the performance on my computer and a way to decrease the demands requierd of the program? Please help and thanks, HSG.

If you are in the upgrade mood, and you have a PIII (550) and not a K6/2 (due to possible L2 caching issues), you ought to upgrade your RAM as well as your video card.
