No, even if you do, you won't notice any difference with it.

The Acer Aspire One netbook uses integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics which uses system memory. You can upgrade the amount of system memory but the BIOS doesn't allow you to allocate more memory as graphics memory.

Even if you can do that, there's really no performance advantage in doing so.

Usually these memory amount are fixed, and cannot be changed at all. Like my EEEPC 701, it was fixed at 8MB and changing the amount is impossible.
