I have an aging laptop that I'm thinking about upgrading. The current motherboard will take a Socket M Core 2 Duo CPU 2 ghz Merom Core, and up to 2 gigs DDR2. I have discovered that the current motherboard bios limits the Intel GMA 950's Dynamic Video Memory to 64 MB, so I would need a motherboard swap to get a maximum 224 mb shared video memory available..
I am curious if Freelancer Crossfire will run if I spend the money. I currently get texture tearing because of the lack of video memory allocated; otherwise, the game runs as well as can be expected on a Merom Celeron.
Will Freelancer Crossfire 1.9 know that the video memory will increase if needed, or will I still see texture tearing? As in, any words that are on screen become stretched and flash randomly across the view. A bit of research suggests that the list of known devices is updated by the mod.
Please advise.
Intel GMA 950 and Core 2 Duo Mobile T7200

Dont spend money on partitial upgrades. Save some more money and get a better laptop. CF1.9 has some further graphical updates and thus needs some more of your memory. But there will be again an option for low graphics as well. So it should be playable with less performance PCs but not in the full beauty it has to offer
