X200-Graphic card memory allocation

#1 Post by fooyc » Thu Mar 04, 2010 9:38 pm

Folks,
New joiner here from Malaysia, long time Thinkpad owner, quick question on the above.

This is my X200-7455RZ8 config :
Intel® Core™2 Duo processor P8700 (2.53GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 3MB L2 Cache)
Mobile Intel® GS45 Chipset
Genuine Windows Vista® Business
4GB DDR3 SDRAM + 4GB SanDisk ExtremeIII 30MB/s (for ReadyBoost)
320GB SATA HDD (5400 rpm)
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD
12.1" WXGA TFT Display
6-cell Li-ion Battery

Checked the graphic card properties, dedicated memory is 32MB, shared is 1GB+.

Curiously, my company issued Fujitsu S-series LifeBook with WinXP-Pro, I am allowed to tweak the BIOS to adjust graphic card memory allocation, dead fix from lowest 32MB to the max allowable.

I'm currently running the latest X200 BIOS, v3.12, numerous attempt to look for the adjustment section, to no avail.

Perhaps its not there afterall ? Anyone have a clue ? :)

I am not aware of any way to adjust shared video memory allocation on a Thinkpad.
