    Hi : )

    I have Dell N7110 with a build in video card: Inter 3000 HD Graphics. I want to change the ammount of memory shared between the video card and the RAM, or at least to see how much it is. I searched with Google, but found nothing, except to look at the BIOS options, but I found nothing there too : (

    Is there so way to solve this?

    I don't think you can change it. Just that it will change by itself. On some desktop computers the option is in the BIOS, but there shouldn't really be any need to change it.

    The driver manages how much shared memory is utilized; you cannot change it itself.
