    Is there any setting to alter the amount of memory the 3000/N100 uses for its video card? I looked at the BIOS, but did not see anything.

    Thanks

    Why do you need to do that?

    The intergrated 950 graphics card uses an automatic setting. It senses when you need additional graphics power and will boost the memory accordingly.

    The amount of video memory (8MB-128MB) is dynamically allocated depending on the needs. It can't be changed but even if it was possible it would not improve performance.

    Thanks for the info. Could not find this in the manual. I asked as I was running a graphics program and it updates were slow and I wanted to bump up the vid. memory
