Hi, I have an HD Graphics 3000 and the memory allocated his only 64MO.

Thank you.

You can do this only in the Bios as far as I know if you refer to the dedicated memory. It depends on your Bios.

Thank you for your answer.

I tried to do this on the bios but i did'nt find where it is.

Maybe it is impossible to do this with my bios.

I have a latpod DELL e6320 I5.

This is some OEM Board it seems, they often lacking from some important Bios options. In this case you cannot change the dedicated memory size, unfortunately.

increasing memory from bios wont help anyway. in idle state it shows 64 mb but as u run games etc it goes higher depending on how much ram memory u have got. u can check it in cpuz.

It helps for games with wrong memory detection such as GTA4, Max Payne 3 or Trackmania. And you are wrong, if you set the dedicated RAM to 512 MB, it is available in every state. The load state doesn't make a difference.

As you can see your dedicated memory size is 64MB, that's it. It won't go higher automatically. The application can use a lot more RAM of course from the shared system memory, but some games detect it wrong. If you start a game like GTA4 you will notice that.

That's not your dedicated memory size, it stayed the same as you can see in your screen. As I said the iGPU can theoretically use all of the dynamic RAM which is 1,7 GB big or 1,8 GB. Some applications like GTA4 detects only your 64 MB and refuse to run or don't let you run in a higher graphics setting. That's the problem. Basically the dedicated memory size is unimportant except for some applications with a wrong VRAM detection.
