I currently have a video memory limit of 32mb. I know it sucks, but this computer is old.

Was just wondering if there is something out there that's capable of bypassing this limit to 64mb instead.


My video card is; 'Intel (R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphic controller.
My BIOS is; 'rev01' or something.


Thanks.

Technically, Gam3r01 is correct, but depending on the age of your system, you may have another option. Check your system BIOS. There may be an option there to increase the AGP Aperture. This is essentially the option created just before the days of Hypermemory and TurboCache. It would allow you to increase the amount of system memory allocated to your graphics card (virtual memory).

My old laptop had this option in BIOS, but making the change from 32MB to 64MB did very little for me or if it did, I did not notice.
