[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1304978, member: 46727"] Not that I know of. The discrete graphic controllers don't have that problem because the VRAM is included with the chipset and Windows "sees" that OK. But with the integrated chipsets like yours and others, it seems like Windows just uses the default amount. (256 MB) Also, the HD 3000 performs well when gaming in OS X, but it's a rather mediocre performer with Windows games. Check out Tom's Hardware site and look up the HD 3000 to see what they say about it. Interesting reading. [/QUOTE]
