Hello,
I have an Intel GMA X3100 graphics card with 256MB of memory. I recently discovered what a frame buffer means and I wanted to know how to increase it (if you have a software to give me or something like that)
Thanks in advance, guys!!!
(P.S.: I already looked in the BIOS and found nothing :(

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 3.0.19

    Yes, I copied and pasted while doing some research online for you, sorry for not being of any use and while reading your responses:

    "Did you not read or what, I said that I already looked in the BIOS!!!
    Oh dear, you are of no use to me!"

    It makes me not want to continue trying to help you.

    It is technically and electronically impossible to add video memory yourself with a small 25W soldering iron; however, it is possible to modify the video configuration by going into the BIOS (if the motherboard supports video). In the BIOS, it is called FRAME BUFFER SIZE and you can increase it to the maximum. You need to know if the motherboard supports video. Your SDRAM RAM stick, for example, will pay the consequences; that is, if you have 125MB and you allocate 32MB for video, you will only have 93MB left. This is referred to as shared video memory. Now, is there a way to add more, given that the BIOS limits it to 4MB? Good question, probably by updating the BIOS or programming it at an assembler.
