Maximum memory is 1.7GB, and you don't need 64bit for that.<BR /><BR />You may even end with less available video memory. The heavier the operating system, the less the amount of free memory available for the video ram.<BR /><BR />"Is this a programatically configurable option or is this hard set by the bios."<BR />The amount of graphics memory in use is dynamically allocated by the chipset, so I don't think you can change this.<BR /><BR />Please check:<BR /><BR />Graphics memory frequently asked questions<BR /><A href="http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-029090.htm">http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-029090.htm</A></P><P>Hope that helps.</P> Fri, 25 May 2012 10:58:47 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Developing-Games-on-Intel/Memory-size-to-HD3000-for-32bit-or-64-bit-system/m-p/815992#M213 MPere15 2012-05-25T10:58:47Z
