In most cases, the computer manufacturer has already configured the system to use the maximum amount of graphics memory that is possible for your particular computer model. Decreasing video memory could be an option depending on the computer manufacturer.

I recommend contacting your computer manufacturer for possible ways to do this.

You could do it if your Bios supports IGP RAM options to change the size.
