    Hi there I've been looking all over google and several forum sites for anyway to add more shared video to my Intel x3100 video card. Most of the answer I got we're to check the BIOS but in my BIOS there is no way at all to change it.

    Here is the current info:

    Sorry I forgot to add the OS is Vista.

    The drivers manage the amount of memory the card takes for use at any given time. There is no reason to need to worry about this, it is managed for you.

    Yea you cant add more memory to a GPU. You can add more ram to your computert though... If you want higher memory on your video you have to get a new card
