they're not dumb questions. they're perfectly legal to ask if you don't know much.

the graphics you have in your computer is integrated graphics. that means it's on the motherboard and cannot be replaced. it is locked to a set amount of ram, and takes a certain amount from the ram you have installed.

you can install a separate graphics card into the spare slots on the motherboard, and disable the integrated graphics to free up the ram. separate graphics cards use their own ram, and offloads all video playing onto it, allowing the cpu to work more freely.

graphics cards have a set amount of ram; you cannot change them as they are soldered onto the board. more ram allows you to push the resolution to a higher spec, while maintaining good framerates. even if you only use a low resolution, you can crank up all of the eyecandy settings to the max, and still have smooth gameplay because you have lots of ram to spare.

look at the time difference, they're six hours apart. you didn't go to the second page.
