Two questions:

Is it easier to play without Steam? If so how can I play without Steam?

and;

I don't think this game is running right because I don't have enough VRAM.
I can go into BOIS mode and put more in, but I don't know what setting to go to when I'm actually IN BOIS... I've done it before, I just can't remember how.

You mean Bios?

Also - You need steam to play this game, and its 20 times harder to plya without steam.

No no no, I have shared memory, and want to allocate more of it towards video.

Are you talking about Virtual memory or Video memory? Virtual memory can be set easily, and Video RAM, sohuld buy a new Video card, sorry if I misunderstood you though.

Oh and you can use WON to play esf without steam, but only for LAN's and stuff like that then, no online play.

How to do:
Just install HL from youre cd, then ESF under it(NO PATCHES, FULL INSTALL 1.2.3!), then go into Half Life, click on custom game, you'll see esf in the list, then say activate, then you can play in LAN games. :)

If that dosent work all i an say is tough luck.

ESF isnt made for WON. And you can consider yourself very luckey if you can run it on WON.

Its pretty easy.

I always have 2 esf's on my pc. A steam one and my WON/LAN one. Do exactly what donnierisk said or do what I do. I install ESF into a custom directory. I then only cut, paste it to my Half-life folder. Dont ask me why, It just makes me feel all warm inside.

Open HL and go to "mod listing". Double click on ESF/Earth Special Forces. From there you should be set. I have to warn you though. You might get the "client.dll error thing". I dunno what to do about that except get Steam.

That depends. As i told you already. With that method you force ESF to use WON.

And since it was designed for STEAM. Itll cause problems. But if you are luckey it will work offline. Just dont make internet servers.
