    So looked around easy fix (ish) I can just use a re-programmer via clip or solder on a new chip for 16GBP however I'm wondering has anyone actually been able to change the iGPU memory allocation without bricking their system and or what settings were used?

    Specs:
    M18XR2
    Bios: A11 Unlocked
    2x 512GB Sata SSD's
    3940xm @ 4.4ghz
