Modding the Video RAM of my Laptop - Page 2

Yeah, in fact, unless he plays 3D games, he should set the graphics RAM to 8MB.

left off gaming

well not all bios supported changing the memory of the IE2 :/...like mine previously is cannot be changed but it auto "upgrade" itself once we add more ram into the system.

yup, most laptops are "auto" or "turbo-cached" my laptop has 2GB ram and its shared system memory for graphics is 767MB + 64MB dedicated = 831MB

ok thanks a lot

btw give me values if i upgrade my system ram to:
-768MB
-1GB
How many MB of my Video Graphics would be if i upgraded my ram listed above?
Thanks.

lee_what2004 · 9th Dec 2008, 06:32 PM

for the increase, it wouldn't go too far, I guess around 128mb?
as for upgrade, more is better of course and should be more responsive with 1GB

Its intel extreme graphics 2... he will not be playing video games at blazing FPS anyway... I wouldn't bother with increasing the video memory as its not going to yeild a huge performance increase for games as that graphics card is limited.. Its intel's fail at gaming graphics.

Well, AFAIK, Zuma is just 2D graphics so any integrated graphics should have no problem handling it. Hehe..

but i think those memory ram usage still depends wether the bios allows the user to change it or not..
