Does a video card replace VGA memory?

I have a pc with 128mb integrated video memory. If I buy a 128mb video card, will that add to the memory I already have or replace it?



Example: VGA (128) + Card (128) = 256 original memory



or just the 128 of the card?





Thanks|||Once the card using the integrated memory is disabled all that memory will be re-allocated to system use.



You will have an extra 128MB of RAM the operating system.

Philip|||it just replaces it.the on board video chip is disabled.|||No. If you replace another videocard (different from built-in Video Accelerator or Graphic Adapter) You will have to choose one of those video cards. Because you will have to connect your cable of the monitor to one of the Output contacts.

But, whatever, the card that you want to add to your system will probably be better than the built-in one. (usually the built-in adapters have less functions and work slower than the other ones).
