"...does increasing your dedicated vram..."
A video card comes with ram for video use. Usually it's GDDR3 or GDDR5. I can't think of a card that lets up upgrade the total ram.
Integrated video solutions let you assign some system ram (DDR3 usually) to video processing. Increasing the amount of your system ram dedicated to graphics won't damage your system, but also won't typically aid your graphic performance in any way (lots of vide ram helps at high anti-alias levels - most integrated video don't have the might to run at high anti-alias levels). -- BUT try it. If your system seems to run better then leave it. If not then set it back to what it was. It won't hurt either way.

well i checked my system and it says that my total ram is 4gb but dedicated vram is just 2gb. im thinking of increasing it to maybe 3gb dedicated vram, so i was wondering if that'll damage the system in anyway. if it doesnt then does it really provide a big boost to game performance?
the reason im asking is because im trying to get rid of the annoying frequent ctd's while playing skyrim. and no dont tell me its because of the mods because i've isolated the problems down to not enough vram haha...

Are you sure it's not enough vram and not just regular ram? 2gb vram is generally fine for 1080p. Though at 4gb ram playing skyrim with mods may be cutting it short.
Also, there's no way you can increase vram without getting a whole new gpu.
