It is not possible. If you are talking about what I think you are talking about, then it is not possible. VRAM (GPU RAM) is very different from DRAM. You will need to get a higher tiered GPU if you want more VRAM, a 270X is a good one with 2GB of VRAM. Also, what resolution are you running that you need more VRAM? It looks as if that you have an on board GPU which makes it even more impossible. Are you running a specific game?

in the bios change the amount used from 64 to say 128 or 256 which should be the max, really need to add atleast another stick as well

@mamamia13 - In older laptop, you sometimes had the option of increasing the VGA Aperture. This will essentially create a block of space as part of a system's total 4GB of addressable space. Any system memory written to that memory space would be used as VGA memory.
With Windows XP and discrete graphic cards, you could use HyperMemory (AMD) or TurboCache (NVidia) to set aside a specific amount of system memory to be used as graphic memory.
Since Windows Vista, these two processes became automatic. System memory was automatically shared with the graphics card.
Of course, all of the above scenarios only work if the system itself has enough system memory to spare. With only 1GB of RAM installed, that needs to be the first issue resolved.

What would be really helpful is if we knew what laptop he had -- make, model, etc. That would let us know if his onboard VGA is sharing RAM or not, and whether or not he can even increase the memory it uses.
To be honest, though, if the onboard only has 64 MB, I doubt he's going to have an easy time even finding RAM for the laptop.

If your goal is to increase the speed, that won't help much at all. List your exact system and why you are trying to do what you are trying to do.
Best thing you can do to speed up the system is get more RAM (4GB is good, 2GB is really minimum), re-install Windows and install latests drivers for the system.
The speed will still be limited by the hardware, most people ask this because of some game they can't play. It still won't work. Need to replace the laptop or upgrade it if it's a desktop.
