radeon hd 7540d integrated graphics

Just a quick question, I got a new hp and it came with the graphics in the title. The amount of memory is 512mb and according to what I have read it is capable of going as high as 4gb. So, how I increase the amount of shared memory? I have installed the latest drivers from AMD, I went over all of the options in the Catalyst Center, but I just can not find that particular option.

Do I just have to breakdown and get a separate video card?

Thanks and Happy Holidays to all.

Laptops wont take an addon card...
Did you check the manuf. site for more info ? ?

You generally set the amount of system RAM used by integrated graphics chipsets in the BIOS. If you have a paper manual, look in it for instructions on entering the BIOS. If not, get an electronic copy from the maker's website.

The new computer is a tower. I will check the bios for the setting. I checked it before, but maybe missed something.

The max amount of shared memory supported by the on-die GPU in AMD APUs is 512 MB. http://www.behardware.com/articles/837-3/amd-a8-3850-and-a6-3650-staking-it-on-the-apu.html

Thanks for the response. Another question, why does it say in the specs of the computer that it has up to 3gb shared memory? Seems kind of shady to me if the max on the graphics is only 512mb. That is more than I have on the old computer, but I was hoping for more than 512mb in the new one.
