I can allocate some of my 256 RAM to the video card?

If you have a separate video card it has what it has and there's no way to
make it use system memory. If it's on-board video, you might be able to use
more system ram, but that's dependent on the motherboard. You're really
better off with a better video card if you want to use graphics-intensive
games. The 64-Mb cards aren't that expensive any more.
