Dell Inspiron N4050 graphic memory
Hi!
I'm using a Dell Inspiron N4050 laptop. My OS is Win8.1 Pro. Processor is Intel core i3.
Problem is that I have Total available graphic memory of 1 GB i.e. 1664 MB but unfortunately Dedicated video memory is only 32 MB. Is there any way to increase the dedicated video memory for graphic designing and gaming purposes? i have already checked bios and display settings in detail, i was unable to find any possible solutions.
Thanks in advance,
Tansheet Ali Taj

The 32M is not the video RAM - it's a fixed frame buffer used by the Intel GPU. It cannot be changed.
The system has no dedicated video memory - it uses your system RAM for video purposes. There was a version of that system with Radeon graphics - that one does have discrete video RAM, but to upgrade you'll need to change the mainboard (along with the heatsink assembly and if you have a 65W power supply now, the power adapter as well.
