Acer Aspire 7735Z Graphics Question - More Memory!

AtlanticP · 20 Aug 2009 at 17:16

So, Purchased an Acer Aspire 7735Z Laptop this morning and its uses the Intel GMA 4500 Chipset with 64 mb Dedicated video ram but says it can go over a gig. Thing is I can figure out how to do, I assume its by using shared ram but it will not let me change anything in the BIOS so was wondering how I do it. Its a great laptop with 17.3" screen (16:9 ratio etc) but wouldn't mind some more vid ram. Google found nothing so was hoping someone here would have some answers.

Thanks In advance, Regards

I think it just shares with the main ram, its done as an when needed, no point tying up vram when its not needed.

From what I know it adjusts usage automatically according to how much RAM you have and how much the application needs. It's still a weak graphics chip though and I wouldn't have thought it could even run games with more than 128mb RAM usage playably anyway.

Ah right thanks guys, didn't really get it for games but as long as it runs CS4 then that will be fine. Its got 4gb of ram btw. Thanks again guys, Regards
