Forum Graphics & Displays : AMD Radeon Software to override bios to increase video memory

Hello,
I am using Compaq N610c config: 1.8Ghz, 1 GB RAM, but only 32 mb video memory. where as other laptops have 128/ 256mb dedicated.(my gateway had 512mb but after installing 4 gb vdo memry ram it has gone to 1 gb+) but I want to do sth about this compaq. Help greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

your definitely not going to find an override of the bios maximum is 32, but if the bios maximum will go any higher - then just increase it to whatever your comfortable with - the other boards bios probably adjusted its self proportionally to the upgraded memory config - this may not be the same for the compaq

what it comes down to is the video adapter and how much shared memory it supports as a maximum

anyway you look at it though if your aim is to increase framerates or play a game on that laptop - it'll be a subpar experience that you wont be able to do much about...
