    you can not simply add video memory.
    the integrated graphics do take their turbocache ( or hypermemory) from the ram.
    afaik the turbocache will be bigger when you install more ram. ( read that somewhere, hope it´s correct what i´m telling you here)

    right now you have 128MB dedicated ram + already shared memory ( turbocache). you should check how much this is right now.

    if you feel that it is necessary to upgrade, your only option is to install more ram.
