    Hello I just bought a Pavilion dv2500t that comes with an nvidia 8400M gs with 64MB of dedicated graphics, and I was thinking of sharing some ram to it, mybe going to 128MB or 256MB, but i cant find the way to do it, i looked up in the bios and couldnt find how to do it. Well I would really appreciate if someone help me with that, and also i want an experienced opinion if this shared graphics memory is any good and how much it would be good to give it, thanks in advance.

    By default, the card will share up to ~700 Mb of system RAM when needed.

    Turbocache is dynamically allocated. It will be used when your dedicated memory is running out. It can use up to 800+mb of your RAM if you have 2gb
