If you can't do it in the BIOS, you probably won't be able to do it at all. What are the specs of your PC?

What pc are we talking about, and do you have a dedicated video card?
830 video memory is a strange number. Are you talking about system ram?

well its alittle old. im tryn save up money for a tour lol. anyway its an emachines ET1850.
Intel celeron CPU E3400 2.6GHz
Ram 2 gb (1.87gb usable)
32bit operating system, x64 based processor
Windows 8 pro
Intel(R) G41 Express chipest (microsoft corporation - WDDM 1.1)
and thats it i think oh and 320gb hdd

and i actually can do it in the bios but it only goes from 32 to 128 but i want to increase it to atleast 512 so my games dont play slow

 

[slamsaad]

well the exact words are
"Total Available Graphics Memory: 830Mb
Dedicated Video Memory: 128Mb
System Video Memory: 0Mb
Shared System Memory: 702Mb"

It would seem that your GPU is integrated to the motherboard (Intel GMA x4500). The maximum amount of dedicated memory seems to be 128Mb if I'm not mistaken, but it can share some of your RAM with the rest of the system. In any case, it won't really matter that much; You wouldn't be able to play most games even if you had 512Mb of dedicated memory for the GPU.

EDIT: Missed your last post before posting, That is exactly what it should say, and there is no way to increase the dedicated memory, but it wouldn't have much of an effect anyway since you already have some shared memory that the GPU can use.

oh ok so y does it say system video memory 0mb and also if i get 2gb extra ram will it make a difference??

 

[Eduello]

It might make a minimal difference, but I'm afraid you're going to need a new system if you want to play newer games.

 

[slamsaad]

oh ok 🙁 but isnt there like some compatibilty mode i can use

 

[slamsaad]

and i checked the minimum system requirements for a few games like lego marvel and dark souls 2 and it says 512MB

Having 512MB of memory isn't enough, you also need to have a GPU that has the power to run the game. Sadly, your GPU does not have that kind of power.
