cross your fingers na merong ganyan sa bios mo baka kasi driver-controlled yung allocation and you cannot force it to allocate RAM to VRAM permanently.

99.9% of all the pc laptops and desktops I've seen have settings in the bios that allow manual/permanent allocating of ram for video. I mean, they may be buried under a layer or two of menus. But, they're there most of the time.The only laptops that may not have adjustable video ram settings may be the Apple Intel-based laptops since technically, they don't have a bios. I haven't played with one long enough to find out how they allocate video ram.

It's a possibility that some laptops with discrete graphics and dedicated video ram may not have the option. But then, they probably already have at least 128mb of video ram to start with. As for those with Intel-based graphics or those using shared memory, the settings in the bios have always been there.
