How can you alter your Shared System Memory for your Graphics Card without entering BIOS?

Some motherboards actually used a jumper to set this... but this is extremely rare. I'm afraid on most boards your only way to adjust this is through system BIOS.
If your machine has an available AGP or even PCI slot, you would do very well to put in a video card & just disable your onboard video.

Can your graphics card access extra memory from your computer?
Yes, this is called shared memory. But it isn't useful, its mostly a gimmick because the memory speed is much slower than a graphics card with dedicated memory.
What is the difference between dedicated and shared graphics?
Some graphics cards have memory on board the card itself. Others rely on the memory chips on the system board for memory , thus sharing memory. Suppose a PC has a specification of 256MB of memory and 64MB shared graphics. The memory available for your operating system and applications will be 192MB. If a PC had the same specifications but the 64MB were dedicated, the 64MB required to run the card would use this memory, leaving the full 256MB for your operating system and applications. In short, shared = compromise, dedicated = better.
How do you add memory to a graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS that has 512MB already but a limit of 768MB?
There is no way to upgrade the memory on a graphics card. The "limit" of memory is the maximum amount of shared video memory that the graphics card will occupy in the system's RAM. The best way to get better graphics performance in this situation is to buy a similar NVIDIA card and SLI them together.
If you have 64 mb of dedicated memory in your PC and shared graphics memory of 223 mb means total graphics memory of 287 mb can you play a game which requires 256 mb graphics memory?
It should work. You may need to go to the game options and set the video settings to minimal, but it should still work.
Can laptop graphics memory be converted to dedicated memory from shared memory of RAM?
dedicated memory is memory which is only connected to the GPU. changing shared memory to dedicated memory would involve rewiring the laptop, which would be far more expensive and far more effort than buying dozens of laptops with dedicated memory.
What is video memory on your computer?
Video memory is the RAM in your machine that is used exclusively for your graphics hardware. This can be both the RAM chips built into the graphics chipset its self, or it can be the RAM that is optionally "carved out" from the system memory. The latter is called "shared video memory" although it isn't really sharing as the graphics hardware uses it exclusively.
You have 64 mb of dedicated memory in your PC and shared graphics memory of 223 mb means total graphics memory of 287 mb can you play a game which requires 128 mb graphics memory?
most likely it will run, but not that well. it will run at its lowest setting, if at all. i have actually had the same problem and no it will not run. I'm still not sure how to make the game run.
Compare distributed shared memory and centralized shared memory?
yes
Can you play Fallout New Vegas on Intel HD accelerator graphics?
Since this is a shared graphics card (this means it shares its memory with your actual RAM), it depends on the strength of your processor and your available memory. On my laptop (Core i3 330M, 3 GB RAM), the game works on lowest settings.
What is the advantage of a dedicated graphics card versus a shared graphics card?
having a dedicated makes computer run faster and smoother than haveing a shared card
What vga card does an acer aspire 3613 have?
It doesn't have a VGA card per se. It uses the Intel 910GML express chipset with integrated graphics and uses shared RAM for the video memory.
Do MacBook have video cards?
Macs do have video cards. For example the current range of iMacs have: ▪ 20-inch and 24-inch model with 2.66GHz processor has the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory ▪ 24-inch model with 2.93GHz processor has one of the following: NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR3 memory or NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory or ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory ▪ 24-inch model with 3.06GHz processor has one of the following: NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory or ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
