How would I set more RAM for my onboard Intel HD Chipset? I'm using a Gateway Laptop.

The laptop itself (Gateway NE56R)has 6GB (I installed 2 extra GB) and the chip has 128MB dedicated. I want to allocate more (atleast another 128MB). How would this be done? Through the BIOS, I assume, right? If so, how?

The Intel HD graphics core should dynamically use system RAM as necessary. However, the manufacturer can limit how much system RAM it can use. Some laptops may give you the option to change that setting, but I believe most do not. My Lenovo Y470 does not give me any options to adjust how much system RAM it can use.

...I went into the BIOS and found the option, but I can't change it (all of the other options are blue and accessible, the Video memory was grayed out and didn't let me highlight it).
