Gfx Card ram used for Computer?

[Nardog]

My desktop sucks. It has like 1 gig of ram. My video card has 1gig of gddr3. Is there anyway to use the graphics card ram for computer processes?

Let me be more specific. Nardog, thanks for posting this for me. But the correct specs are, my machine has 2 gigs of PC3200 DDR and my card (HD 4670) has 1 gig of DDR3. I'm in the process of converting my entire collection of DVD ISO's to MKV, and it's a long process. It's taking me like 9 hours per on handbrake. What I'm wondering is, is there any way to use the video RAM more for the video conversion, or is that already being done, or what? I'm having a hard time finding info on the deets of exactly what goes down during video conversion and what resources are used.

Any help would be appreciated.

that's awesome, thanks. I don't think it does mkv but it'll do h264 mp4's and i can just remux to mkv if i need to.

Thanks a ton!
