I have the chipset in the title.

The Intel control panel says the following:

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile Report

Even while playing games, the Graphics Memory in Use only ever goes up to 26 MB. I've looked in the BIOS; there's nothing there. Is there any way I can force it to go higher?

Thanks :)

    I don't see there's a way (need) to force the "graphics memory in use" to increase. Certainly, you could write your own 3D program and use many huge textures within it to see that memory in use would increase.

  • If it is a graphics chip that uses "shared" memory space, then the bios is the only way to increase it, but not all bios's allow for this, most are a fixed amount these days.

  • The thing is, games only use 26 MB when it's obvious they need a lot more.

    Why do you need to increase the memory allocated ? Increasing allocated memory does not increase the frame rates!

  • @Sathya A lack of video memory can cause a bottleneck though

You can't change your video memory in a laptop. There is only one option: That is, change your motherboard and buy a new one with a more desirable graphics card.

  • I don't think that was the question. I think it is more about how to get the system to use the graphics memory fully.
