    DVMT - Dynamic video memory technology

    This is an intel technology for their integrated GPUs you can read about it here

    You can also search the intel site and see what else you can find about it. Sorry I can't be of any further assistance to you on this as I have an ATI...

    Dynamic video memory. The more memory you have; the more memory video memory uses. The BIOS determines it by how much memory you have; and is not adjustable. You may try updating your BIOS to the latest revision.
