Don't know if someone's asked this before, but is there a way I can allocate more shared memory to my video memory? Been reading around the forums, and people say, some manufacturers do not let customers mess with their BIOS setups :/

If you can find a way into the BIOS (Perhaps F2 on startup) you might be able to change it.

The only way to do it through the BIOS. All the Dells I've worked on let you into the BIOS, they have let you adjust certain settings like boot order. With Dells the key to get into the BIOS is usually the F2 key. Just keep tapping that when you start the computer and you should get it. Then look for the setting to adjust video memory. Some manufacturers, Dell included, won't let you adjust that setting, but you should at least be able to get into the BIOS.
