How to change shared video memory on 965 intel chipset board?

I own three motherboards a 101ggc , Intel 965 and an Gigabyte 965 S2.

I cannot seem to increase or find any option in the BIOS to increase the shared video ram. Both GA 965 and the original intel 965 motherboard have no option for increasing the video memory shared from RAM. THis is Strange !!!
Checked mannual , increased aperture size to max, updated BIOS.

Or is it dynamically adjusted, you know takes as much as needed from the ram ? Games run slow, even worse than my xpress 200 chipset based 101ggc.

You tell me what can I do now...( all systems have a GB of RAM )

I am unsure why it cannot be changed since i have not worked with any of those boards.
My advice would be though to get your self a low range pci-express card, since all 3 should support that.
This will free up any onboard resources plus give a serious boost in graphics performance.

It is Dynamic but caps out at 384MBs of RAM as indicated on my source on page 11 of the pdf.

Any video card slots on the board? if so,close down the on - board chip interior the BIOS and set up a sparkling card. this is the very reason i do no longer purchase motherboards with integrated peripherals! reliable success with it. ;-)=
