I have been wondering if I should get Fallout 3 for my laptop computer lately, but there is a little problem. Obviously, most laptop video cards suck and are rarely upgradable, but after looking at the requirements and what I have I thought that maybe it's possible, but I am not sure.

I was hoping that there might be a way to increase the ram of the video card in a similar way as page files or swap partitions. If that is not possible, then maybe some type of external video card?

Anyways, here are my specs and the requirements. If you have any ideas, please let me know, and if it's not possible, then that would be nice to know too. Thanks

Your laptop will not run Fallout 3, and there's no way to make it run either.
Sorry.

Not possible. Laptops are not for gaming.

the size of the video ram is not always the problem, its the speed that it processes the data thats the bottleneck, so changing the size if possible would make no difference. if you want to play games, get a desktop.
