Ok, so I just bought this Laptop, HP 530, it runs great, no problems, I would just like know how know to up the onboard video memory, it says its only using 64MB but it can go up to 256MB I just can't figure it out, with my old PC I just had to go into the BIOS and it was there and I could set it but its not in the BIOS on this one.

Did you check the manual or the HP site? What is the purpose for wanting an increase in video memory - gaming?? If your onboard video is the Intel GMA950, it doesn't matter how much memory you throw at it.
Look for "UMA Memory" or something similar in the BIOS.
