I got a game that requires at least 512MB of Dedicated Video Memory, so I went onto my BIOS to increase it. Except the maximum I could go was 256. Which makes little sense because my RAM is 8GB and my total available graphics memory is 1760MB, so according to what I've read I should be able to adjust it to there. It just won't.

What's going on?

(I'm using a desktop with Windows 7 and an MSI motherboard, btw)
 
What game are you trying to run? Usually integrated graphics aren't very good and may need to get your self a graphics card.

Will need to research your motherboard and graphics card for compatibility if you wish to go this route for requirements regarding power supply, necessary power connectors, case dimensions to fit and motherboard's graphics card expansion slot being AGP or PCIe with latter being the latest interface.
