Can you change size of memory used for Dell M1210 XPS onboard graphics?

I have a Dell M1210 XPS laptop it has onboard graphics. Is it possible to change the amount of memory used for the graphics? At the moment it is set very low and I would like to increase it.

Thanks

Check the BIOS. There should be a setting there.

I have looked through the BIOS but I can't seem to see it anywhere

I am 99% sure you have to increase the amount of RAM in your system for dynamic video RAM to increase. On my old Vaio SZ upgrading from 1gb to 2gb increased my Nvidia turbocache capacity, there was no option to increase this from the BIOS, I'm pretty other chips operate the same way.

The XPS 1210 supports the following
Video memory up to 224 MB shared if total computer memory is 512 MB or greater; up to 128 MB shared if total computer memory is 256 MB

Is it automatic then or do I have to set it?
