How to increase onboard video ram?
Hi,
Earlier in the year I built a gaming pc. However I had to get rid of some of my good items such as graphics card due to company layoffs. Well. My Gigabyte Motherboard currently has a Ati Radeon hd4200 onboard graphics chip. I saw videos on youtube of playing games like cod4 and such..
When I look at the computer it says that my ram currently is - 4.00GB (2.75 GB usable).
I was wondering if there is a way I can add 1gb to the 4200? I saw a video of someone who did it but they won't share how.
My specs:
Gigabyte - GA-MA785GMT-Us2H
Gskill ripjaws 4gb
LG - 32"1080p tv.
onboard ati radeon hd 4200.
Amd Anthlon x2 250 @3.ghz
If someone can walk me through this process i'd greatly appreciate it.

Yes you can change the frame buffer of the onboard video card. Page 47 of your user manual for the board tells you how to do so.
Internal Graphics Mode:
Allows you to determine whether to allocate the system memory for the onboard graphics controller.
UMA Allocates memory for the onboard graphics controller from the system memory.
SidePort Allocates memory for the onboard graphics controller from the SidePort memory.
UMA+SidePort Allocates memory for the onboard graphics controller from the system memory and SidePort memory. (Default)
Disabled Disables the onboard graphics controller.
Internal Graphics Model

Disabled Disables the onboard graphics controller.
UMA Allocates memory for the onboard graphics controller from the system memory. (Default)
UMA Frame Buffer Size
Frame buffer size is the total amount of system memory allocated solely for the onboard graphics controller. MS-DOS, for example, will use only this memory for display. Options are: Auto (default), 128MB, 256MB, 512MB.

There is usually a setting in the bios to increase the amount of system memory dedicated to the onboard video.

NO, the system dynamically allocated system memory to be used by the video card. You can add memory to the system which will give more memory for the system to use (right now you only have access to 2.75 g)
