You have already posted about this once.

Virtual ram, for your graphics, will allow up to 50% of your system memory, which you say is 20gb.

The 128MB you speak of is dedicated ram, which is controlled by your bios, and will likely not go above 128MB.

If you have a game that is requesting more dedicated ram, the game is broken. Notify the game manufacturer.

Also, your processor is no longer supported. You will receive no support from Intel.

Since the driver will utilize up to 50% of available system memory (based upon perceived needs), yes, more can be made available by increasing the system's available DRAM.

Look, you are not listening/comprehending. You don't have to do anything. Your graphic drivers can allocate close to (in your case) 10GB of memory for use as VRAM - and will do so when needs dictate. Forget about the dedicated memory number that is being displayed; it is simply not important.

I also repeat: If you have a software, such as a game, that is complaining about not having enough memory, then this software has a bug in it. If the software will let you proceed, then do so. If not, then you need to contact its authors to have this software bug fixed.

There are also games that will allocate as much VRAM as they can and fill this VRAM is texture data, etc. These games are going something that is not supported by Intel's Graphics drivers. In this case, all you can do is contact the game designers and ask for a version that doesn't do something so utterly ridiculous.
