    I have a Toshiba A105-S4334 lapper with 2G RAM with a 945 chipset.

    Can anyone give me instructions for getting into BIOS and changing the 128 shared mem on the video card to 256 shared memory?

    Will this hurt my system if I do this?

    Thanks,,,

    toshiba doesnt allow you to change the shared VRAM in the Bios.

    Even if they did, setting it to 256 is stupid. the extra memory gains you nothing as the video chipset itself is what is holding you back from good video performance. Wether it has 64, 128 or 256mb of video memory the intel 945 chipset cant handle much in the way of graphics proccesing.
