In intel HD graphic you are likely using shared memory, so I don't think it matters.

You won't be able to 'add' more dedicated video memory. Dedicated video by it's very nature is VRAM that's integrated with the chipset for the sole purpose of being used as video memory, though this should be self explanatory. It's dedicated in the sense that the entire bus width is used to access the memory alone, with dedicated VRAM sometimes offering larger lanes for higher bandwidth memory. The Intel graphics controller is probably reporting that it has 32MB of dedicated video memory for legacy VGA devices that might not be accustomed to it's architecture. This 32MB is likely either cache on the motherboard, or even more likely still just shared memory.
