Pretty sure that this topic is a little out of hand, its been proven that if
the GMA945 actually supported SM3.0 and TnL it would out perform the 6
Series of nvidias cards, however it dosn't and has to emulate it instead
which only adds more processing to the already bloated mess of graphics
rendering. And back to the original question, it depends on what software
you will be running on the expanded memory setup, it has to be capable of
actually using this amount of VRAM, for instance in oblivion when you run
out of VRAM for the storage of textures and effects (typical on 128/256MB
VRAM setups) you have to run PCB (Purge Cell Buffer) other wise it stutters
like shit as it tries to make room for more textures etc as it renders new
cells. However if it has 512MB VRAM available it won't do this cause it can
store more data in VRAM and can passively free up memory which has hardly
noticible effects cause it dosn't need to aggresively make more space to
quickly accomadate more data coming in to be buffered. This is just an
example but it should give you an idea of what I'm trying to explain.
