what is VRAM and how do I get it?

I'm trying to activate x-plane on a new built computer and it tells me I need at least 2mg of VRAM. I have a graphics card and the properties lists 4 kinds of memory and VRAM is 0. Do I need a video card in addition to the graphics card? Is there something external I can just plug in somewhere?

Video Card and Graphics Card are the same thing. x-plane just may very well be too old to be playable on modern hardware. What are your hardware specs?

I got it. when the built my computer, they didn't load the graphics card drivers.

I suggest installing a dedicated graphics card with at least 2GB of VRAM, then inserting the graphics card into the PCIe x16 slot and tighten the screws. Download and install the latest drivers for your graphics card from the manufacturer's website, and finally launch X-Plane.
