    i just bought travelmate 4050 series. it has 64 shared vga. and default shared for vga is 15mb. how can i adjust the memory for vga to 64? i tried to find in bios but its not there. or is it automatically adjusted when you are running heavy applications such games or photoshop?

    thank you.

    It should do it automatically. I know the Intel GMA 900 chipset does it automatically.

    On my system the options are within the BIOS, i'm pretty sure it should be there. The RAM you can allot for video also would depend on the total system RAM. This may depend on your system though.
