It depends.
  • If you're using a 32-bit OS, 3GB is basically the limit. Adding more won't do anything
  • If you're not running out of RAM to begin with, adding more won't do anything.
You can try in your computer's BIOS settings to make sure that the amount reserved for the GPU is set to the maximum just to be sure. But outside of that, you'd have to get faster RAM to improve iGPU performance. However, this may not be an option if your motherboard doesn't support anything faster than what you already have.
