Hello,everyone! I never know there were so many happy eMac users. I thought I was one of a kind. I love my eMac, b/c for some reason its design impresses me more than that of the iMac (liked the last generation models better). The only gripe i have though is the low VRAM size. Other than that it kicks ass!! OS X is also far superior than that other OS. I had to install that "other OS" three times over. :radioacti

VRAM is hard soldered onto the Logic Board. No way of upgrading !

I believe that "VRAM" stands for Virtual RAM (Random Access Memory). I think the only way to get that higher is if your regular RAM from the DIMM slots are upgraded.

Edit: WELCOME!!!!!!!

VRAM is actually Video Random Access Memory. This type of memory is used on video adapters (the eMac video chip is hard soldered onto the logic board and can not be upgraded) and is dual-ported, meaning that it can be accessed by two devices simultaneously. This allows the monitor to access the memory for screen updates, while at the same time allowing the graphics processor to provide new data.
The eMac does not allow you to allocate "normal" RAM to be used as video memory.
