    Hey guys

    I just got my brand new Sony Vaio TZ :D

    everything is great till now but i was checking to video card memory and its only showing 64MB ,, its should be 224 according to the specs "i know its 64MB dedicated memory"

    i took a look to the BOIS and didn't find any option the increase the memory ,,, so what i have to do to take the full 224MB

    Thanks

    update your driver. Also check your video settings.

    Is there anything in the BIOS?

    Change everything you can to performence. Plug in the AC adapter.
