    Hey all,

    Just wanted to know if theres a way to increase the graphics memory of this laptop. It says that the maximum is about 390MB, but is only using about 150. Is there any way to make it run at maximum?

    Cheers in advance.

    Realistically, more graphics memory isn't going to help your cause. Integrated graphics are so intolerably slow anyway, giving them more memory won't help, and in doing so it will reduce how much system memory you have, which could make the performance even worse.

    Ah ok, true.

    Just that I have about 2GB, so I would still have about 1.6 available, didnt think that would be too bad. I know integrated graphics are a pain in the ass.

    Ah well, was just a question. Ty anwyay.
