integrated graphics takes too much memory

[9justinas9]

hi guys. i have been searching for an answer and i failed miseraby. so here is my problem. i have a really weak intel celeron B840 on a laptop. the installed memory is 4gb but the integrated graphics chip takes 1.3GB of ram leaving me with 2.6gb of usable ram. it is frusturating because this sucker will not play any games what so ever. how do i decrease the shared memory to lets say 100-400mb witch is plenty for web browsing. i looked into the bios. its the most stupid bios i have ever seen it doesnt have options to change it. when i upgraded my ram from 2 to 4gb the shared vram also increased. intel display graphics panel doesnt have options either. just some stupid color correction stuff.

here is my specs

It's the 32-bit os that's keeping you ram back.

it's not the GPU it's the OS

You're using a X86-Based system so not all of that 4GB RAM will be available to you anyway. The Celeron B840 CPU is an X64 Chip so you'd be better off installing a 64-Bit version of Windows 7 (Although I'd recommend Windows 10), then you should notice an improvement in the memory management.

i didnt think about that such a dummy. thanks. is there a way to decrease it when upgraded to 64bit? originally i had 2gb ram when 32bit OS was installed

You won't need to decrease it, when you install an X64-Based OS, it'll handle the rest for you, trust me

It will do it it's self the chip is only use 64 mb and the rest is shared system memory.

you know when gaming is not an option and the 4gb is the most that can be installed all of the memory would be best to leave for apps not graphics. that sucker cant handle an agario

In the interest of fairness, you can change the amount of virtual memory assigned to Windows using this menu... Although I would recommend allowing Windows to manage the virtual memory itself.
