I have an R30 and have installed the Tiger Woods 2007 video game for a golf simulator.
It says it needs 64mb for the video card to work properly.
It borrows 8mb from the RAM for a total of 16mb.
My question is there anyway to change the amount of video mb's the video card can use.
It will hold up to 1gb of ram. I only need the laptop to run this simulator, so borrowing from the RAM will not be a problem.
help me please!

You don't have the ability to adjust the amount of RAM that will be borrowed for video use, so you're stuck.
No ThinkPad weaker and/or older than A31p has 64Mb VRAM, and these are not gaming laptops either, not at all.
So, you'd need at least a high end T4x or R5x to run this properly, within ThinkPad world, that is.
