    Anyone know of a hack or a way to increase the memory alocated to video? In the bios the option to change video size is grey out.

    You have the 4500MHD right? Video memory allocation is handled by the Intel drivers. If it needs more, it gets more. If it does not need memory, it gives it back to the OS.

    I do not know if it is the 4500 or not, I will have to look when I get home.
