Intel graphic sugesstion

[luka]

Hi...
I bought Acer 4502LCI and i bought also some extra memory and now i have 1024 MB of RAM. My Acer have "Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Integrated Graphics Controller, 64MB" for graphic and it said that maximum of dedicated RAM is 64MB? Is there any chance to add more RAM (about 256)?
Thank you

Nothing? :-( I woud really need some help if it's possible...

I think you'll have to do that stuff in the bios luka. I dunno if Intel Graphic will support above 64MB, but I know there are some that will support up to 256MB MAX. I think the most you can get is 128MB but I still dunno mess around in your bios and find out :bouncy:

Nope, sorry - the most VRAM you can have those graphics use is 64 MB. The newer Intel chipset supports up to 128 MB, but not what you (or I) have. :(

I Can't?Well, in BIOS there is option Video Memory and i can set there 8MB, 16MB or 32MB?Is that maximum that i can add to graphic chip with 64MB that is already dedicated?I use BIOS Version 3A06, and if i update BIOS maybe i could get some extra (128/256MB) to add (dedicate)?
Thank you

Your graphics card doesn't have any dedicated VRAM - it's all shared with the system RAM. The most RAM the 82852/82855 GM/GME Integrated Graphics Controller will allow to be allotted to the graphics card is 64 MB - you can tell it not to use that much if you want to conserve system RAM for whatever reason (that's why you have those 8 MB, 16 MB, and 32 MB options). You'll never be able to have more than 64 MB for your graphics though...

well i didn't count on it!I thouht that i will be able to add more then a 64MB!SO if you said, that in BIOS is set to reduce memory useing, how can i disable it when i don't have that option?(sorry but i am new in this)
