    Doesn't look like I can configure this in the BIOS, at least from what I can see. Is it changeable to something higher than 8MB? It runs Aero just fine, so it's no big deal I guess, I was just wondering since I have 3GB to play with.

    Thanks!

    The shared memory to the GPU is controlled by the driver. You can't modify it.
