It depends on the monitor too, and the refresh rates it can support.. But it seems to me that 256 MB is rather skimpy. Try changing the resolution to 1200x800 first. If the monitor or screen can handle it and it remains stable and no hangups in games or other demanding programs then try to change to some other higher resolution. Before you make any hazardous step backup your computer or set a restore point. In case of trouble you will be able to load the last configuration that worked. Good Luck.
