I would agree with jbmcmillan's insinuated point with his question; I don't think
your PC is sharing your system memory when we're talking over 600MB. But, if you
do not have a dedicated video card and are, instead, using an integrated GPU that
shares part of your system memory, the only way to change the amount of memory would
be through the bios, I believe. From everything I've read on this topic, the shared
memory setting cannot be changed (although, I'd like to do this on my machine so,
if anyone knows of a method to do so, please post it here). Additionally, it seems
that adding more memory to your PC doesn't change your video memory, it only adds
to the memory available to the system for other applications...... though that's
certainly not bad either. In general, though, most systems I've seen with integrated
GPU's that share system memory are using around 224-256 MB.
