That article actually arose out of a webinar presentation I made about the relationship of RAM Memory to QuickBooks Desktop (QBD); however, during the webinar I mentioned that QBD performance could be enhanced if it were running on a computer with a graphics card with VRAM because the graphics subsystem (GPU - graphics processing unit) would no longer be using the RAM otherwise available within the computer.

When a graphics card has built-in VRAM (video RAM), the GPU subsystem is reliant upon the cards VRAM, not the RAM allocated by the computers OS.

So, in my article referenced above, I discussed the implications of Graphics Cards for all the various QuickBooks Environments.

Near the end of that article, I discussed the Windows and Mac App for QuickBooks Online saying.

The intention was to be able to call for dedicated memory to run the App rather than QuickBooks Online sharing the total memory dedicated to your Chrome (or other) browser among any and all open browsing windows.

After some research, I finally got the system requirements from Intuit, so here they are (along with my commentary where applicable).

The Windows App (for QBO) like a browser, can (will) make use of the dedicated memory and processing capabilities of your graphics card.

As such, you should experience enhanced QuickBooks Online operations with such a graphics card over running the App with only on-board graphics and your computers standard memory.

Apple has always been ahead of most Windows computer designers and they have for some time provided graphics with on-board memory in all but their lowest-end desktop machines, laptops are a different matter.

There are simply too many variations in the Mac lineup of products to talk more specifically in an article like this, so consult your Apple Store or Apple Support regarding your present or future graphics requirements if you are using or considering a Mac purchase.

Consult your local computer-professional or computer-manufacturer (Windows-based or Apple-Mac, as the case may be) regarding your graphics, if you are unclear as to what your current graphics capabilities are, or you wish to upgrade your graphics technology to insure full compatibility.
