I have a TOSHIBA SATELLITE P35 and I was looking around at specs on it and somewhere I read that it has RADEON? 9000 IGP with 64MB shared memory (user adjustable to 128MB) How do I adjust it to 128MB?

Most likely in the BIOS. But since it gets it's RAM from your system RAM (512), you would only be leaving 384MB for Windows. Any performance gain you might get from allocating the extra memory to yur video card would be more than offset in a decrease in performance from the lack of system memory.

Actually the 512 ram mentioned in profile is for my desktop which is what I usually post questions about. This is for a laptop with 1gig ram and Pentium 4 HT. So I don't think -128mb will make much of a difference. I just need to know how exactly to change it over.

BIOS doesnt really mean much to me anything more specific?

BIOS is the setting that you can access on your computer when your first start up you computer. When its booting up you wanna pound on the F8 key or something like that (the one that says setup) then go to your video part then just look around for it. L8R homie
