How do you increase display memory on a emachines and the video card is intagrated with the motherboard?

Get into the BIOS, by pressing either F2 or Delete at the boot-up screen. You should have an option there for setting the amount of shared memory the system is bound to allocate to the IGP(Integrated Graphics Port). Set it to max 128 MB, it should be good enough, since integrated graphic cards do not render very high performance anyway.|||In the BIOS.|||You can't. An integrated graphics card means it is built into the motherboard chipset, so you cannot tweak it at all. You cannot increase display memory on any video card. For integrated graphics, the driver allocates (reserves) system memory, or RAM, for graphics. RAM is much slower than dedicated graphics memory. If you have low RAM, like 128MB or even 256 or 512MB, the system may degrade graphics quality to improve system performance. In the end, no you cannot add graphics memory, but you can add system memory to possibly increase graphics performance. Or, just drop down the dough and get a dedicated graphics card if you have the money and the appropriate slot on you motherboard available. Just make sure the memory usage is set properly in the BIOS.|||yes check in bios, but ya may be very limited on the amt. otherwise you will need to add a vid card. to do this find out if ya have a agp, or pci-e slot available. then select a vid card with at least 128 to 256 of mem. disable on board vid in bios and run fom the slot. also delete your old vid drivers if any, and install the latestest stuff ya can from the chipset maker's site. i. e. nvidia or ati. if none of these slots are available then get a pci only vid card and install closest to the processor. or take to a comp shop ask them how much to upgrade vid.
