    Something weired happened after installing the new F.23 bios in DV2000t notebook. After flashing the bios, graphic card has only 32mb instead of 128mb. However bios shows 128mb but windows shows only 32mb. So I don't know how to increase this memory? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

    No? It has always been 32 Mb. It is 128 Mb of Video RAM with only 32 Mb dedicated memory. The rest is shared with your computer RAM.

    Check the BIOS menu, there might be an option to increase/decrease the amount of memory reserved for the graphics card.

    I went to Bios menu and I couldn't find any option to change from 32mb to 128mb. But Bios shows 128mb(Only for Windows XP) but in Intel graphic properties shows Maximum memory 32mb and Minimum Memory 8mb. So I am confused why the graphic properties shows only 32mb instead of 128mb?

    It means you have 32MB dedicated and the rest is taken from your system memory for a grand total of 128MB.

    But last time i checked Intel 950GMA doesn't have any dedicated memory and also in old Bios F.11 wasn't showing anything about dedicated memory.
