https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/RE-Newbie-Question/m-p/863823#M7816 Hi All<BR /><BR />I have a question I would like to ask, but first, since I am new here please forgive my ignorance if I seem idiotically stupid in what I am asking!<BR /><BR />I have a mac mini with the GMA 950 Intel Graphics Chipset, according to the specs this gives me 64mb of graphics memory which is used off my main system ram. I have 4 gb of ram in my system and I am wondering if it is at all possible for Intel to 'update' the current driver to allow it to use more system ram to boost video/gaming performance?<BR /><BR />Thanks!<BR />C<BR /> Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:49:23 GMT babyinateacup 2008-07-02T17:49:23Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/RE-Newbie-Question/m-p/863823#M7816 Hi All<BR /><BR />I have a question I would like to ask, but first, since I am new here please forgive my ignorance if I seem idiotically stupid in what I am asking!<BR /><BR />I have a mac mini with the GMA 950 Intel Graphics Chipset, according to the specs this gives me 64mb of graphics memory which is used off my main system ram.

Even 512MB wouldn't help you.<BR /> Mon, 14 Jul 2008 08:05:49 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/RE-Newbie-Question/m-p/863824#M7817 7oby 2008-07-14T08:05:49Z
