Increasing Shared Video Memory
 
Hi guys,
I have just purchased a Toshiba laptop TOS A15S1692. Due to my budget
constraints I did not have the option of getting a system with
dedicated memory. This system though has 32mb shared. By default it
seems to be using 16mb (noticed when one sees the RAM at 240mb).
I would like to increase this meory to 32mb. I read somewhere that
this is possible by tweaking the BIOS. But I do not see any setting
that would allow me to do so. Could you tell me how to do this?
Also could someone tell me whether by doing this and increasing the
system memory to 512mb will help improve gaming performance? I would
like to be able to play most games available today at the very least.
Quake3 seemed to work alright and so did Max Payne 2 though none were
great.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
- Nirmal
