Call HP CS Tech there are ATI cards that support 128 MB Shared, they might be right though depending on the card size differance and connection's required in your model #

That has an IGP (integrated graphics processor). If a laptop has an IGP, it cannot be upgraded, but you can give it some more video memory by using some of the system RAM. You have 2 GB, so you can easily set to the highest. From memory, I believe the 200m can use as much as 256 MB, but I know it can use 128 MB. Adjust this in the BIOS by pressing Esc when it is showing the HP logo and then looking around for video memory. If thats not it, try F1 or F2.
