Hey Guys, I have a question? can I increase the amount of memory (Video Memory for instance) to 128MB? -Will it work? -What will be the differences Using an: Intel Extreme 2 Graphics: 64MB shared Phoenix BIOS released between 2004-2005 512MB DDR RAM Laptop Model: Samsung Sens X15
1. Yes. Most IGP should allow you to share the system memory up to 128MB. 2. No difference. Not to mention you system will have less memory to use. So don't bother
for intel extreme 2,i used to own a laptop that comes with it. it actually increases when one added more ram into the laptop. it will work but for gaming wise, not much difference
Increasing the video RAM would work, of course. But it's only useful if you play games that use large textures. The thing is the Intel Extreme Graphics 2 is underpowered. You are unlikely to see any real improvement in graphics performance whether you increase the video memory or not. Plus, increasing graphics memory would mean less system memory for your OS and applications to use.
Heh.. Yeah, the trouble is he only has 512MB of RAM. That means he would only have 384MB for his OS and applications.
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.
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..
