To my knowledge you can't, but you could possibly change how shared memory is used.

Hello and welcome to the forums
Sorry but you can't increase the graphic card's memory

If u mean that some kind like hyper memory, i know some onboard cpu has an ability to do that, with adding more ram memory then the onboard gpu's memory is increased...
maybe u can explain it better than me, Maz?

I haven't heard anything about increasing the VGA's memory,as boonality said you may be able to change the shared memory but i don't think increasing the VGA's RAM is possible

umm... i mean, yes u cannot increasing the dedicated memory, but u can increasing the shared memory, as i said before: adding more ram...

 

[Maziar]

adding more shared memory is not help much, really, onboard graphic card is weak.
one more thing is u just cannot upgrade your graphic card, it soldered on the board itself...
