Increasing Integrated Video Ram

[Jeff]

Ok, i have an HP Pavilion 753n. It has a P4 2.53 Ghz
processor with 512mb of ram. It supposedly has 64mb shared
video memory that integrated on to the motherboard. And it
shares it with the main ram that i have. But it doesn't do
that. It only shares 8mb. I don't know why... I tried to
go to the bios and set it to 64mb, but it only lets me
choose to share 1mb or 8mb. It says right on the tower
that it has Integrated Intel extreme Graphics with up to 64
mb of shared video memory. But I have 512 mb of system
ram, and when i check to see how much ram i have, it says i
have 504mb... So it's only sharing 8mb. Is there anyway i
can set this so it shares 64mb video memory like it says?
Cause my game's that i play run a lot slower than my
friends pc, who has 32 mb shared video ram. Please help me
if you can. Thanks

You need to ask the folks at HP.

I have the same graphics. Right click
desktop>properties>settings>advanced.You should find the setting in
there,mine is 32 MB so it might be a little different.

Best solution is buy 64-128MB vcard 4 $50-150 if u r
into games, esp newer 1s that need 128MB.

I'd bet u get marginal improvement by just allocing
64MB from 1 pot to another.

Just my 2¢ worth. HTH-Larry

Any advise is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.

That is a matter of the setup in the BIOS - or likely a setting in the
hardware by jumper on the motherboard. You will have to consult HP if
BIOS is showing no option above 8MB
