    Hey :)

    I would like to know how I can give my ATI radeon 3200 more ram. now it has 259MB and I would like to "upgrade" it to 512MB.

    Thanks

    You can't AFAIK and you don't need to since the integrated GPU will manage however much it needs automatically. More GPU RAM is not necessarily better, so just it do it's thing.

    Try to allocate more ram through BIOS.
    Start your laptop and you´ll see a meesege wich botton to press for getting into it. Then you´ll have to search for the right option. I did this with my old HP Geforce 6200. From 64MB to 256MB. But this will only work if this option is unlocked and you have much RAM like 2 GB for XP or 4 for W7.
