hi,
sorry if this is mind-numbingly simple to solve, but I can't figure it out. I wanted to get Age of Mythology, but saw it needed a "16MB video card or higher". I assume since my other features were all way above requirements that the video card is too, but I remember hearing stuff about how you had to buy those separate or something..?..Anyway, how do I know what mine is, and is there any way I can install a better one myself if I have to?
thanks

You can't install a different video card in a Macbook, or pretty much any laptop.

You have a 64MB shared memory videocard.

By the way, you can tell about your current video card by going to Apple Menu -> About this Mac -> Click More Info.

Click on the Graphics/Displays item in the left window pane, it will display things like how much video ram and GPU you have.
