Changing Onboard Memory

Comment:

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. PC1: - Asus M2V-MX SE Motherboard - AMD Athlon 64 4200 X2 Dual Core CPU, 2.2GHz - 1GB DDR667 Memory Module, DDR2 - Onboard GFX (atm) PC2: - Core Duo Laptop/1GB DDR2

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. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/e... http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-...
