I have a game which requires a 32 MB Direct3D compatible video card. I know this model has an integrated chipset -- how do I find out if it's compatible with the required card?

often your BIOS will tell you how much video memory your laptop has, sometimes it will allow you to change it. most laptop bioses (if that's a word) can be acccesed by pressing F2 when the compute first turns on. others are ESC and then F1, but those are older. i don't see why the U205 wouldn't have at least 32MB, but good luck.

click on start > run and then type in dxdiag and press ok or enter. if you get a message asking to connect to the internet, blah blah blah you can click either yes or no, its just making sure you have updated drivers. the screen that comes up and its tabs will give you almost all relevent information about your system, computer model number, operating system version, AND ram, video memory, processor speed.
