Supposedly the laptop transfers memory usage depending on the applications run and tries to split the memory between graphics and system in order to balance things out. For Ex: I tried running a game such as Aion on the system with all the graphics within the game on Low, the graphics settings from the chipsets panel set to performance, + TuneUP utilities in the background forcing the system into turbo mode so as to free up as many resources as possible. After logging into the game, I opened the Graphics Media Accelerator panel in windows to see how much ram had been allocated to the graphics card and surprisingly enough, from 4 gb of system memory it raised the graphics cards base 32mb to a WHOPPING 103 mb...Is there any way to force the system to allocate more memory to the graphics card or am I doomed to be a slave to the whims of my computer?
