Dell Latitude E6430
So I have been reading through other discussions on here about people wanting to change their V-ram amount. I myself found myself in this same position after I had used the canyourunit benchmark program to gauge my brother's laptop against some games. Their detection software showed his laptop has 0mb of V-ram and after reading other discussions I see that is due to using integrated intel graphics which does not use the v-ram system and instead shares memory with the system I believe is what I had read. So with the context given my question is can I ignore the issue of having no v-ram with their performance results because the computer uses a different system? I was under the assumption that if the system's other hardware specs were able to handle the program but didn't meet the v-ram amount due to not having any that it would possibly be alright?

If is not clear what you're asking. You cannot change the VRAM in any way. Either applications will run using integrated video, or they won't -- and if they don't, the only solution is a different system that has a dedicated GPU with its own video RAM.

The laptop has integrated video but when viewing the minimum required/recommended specifications for programs on the website canyourunit. The device was marked satisfactory in every category besides v-ram, because as I have read on other discussions posted here I see intel integrated graphics do not have v-ram, so with that said I am asking can I ignore that category being this device doesn't have any v-ram at all? Can I allocate ram from the computer to support the integrated graphics to give it 512mb of real ram?
