... for the memory settings of your graphics card

If the graphics card is on board, a section of the working memory is
used as a graphics card memory.

If, for applications that use a lot of memory (games etc.), it should
be necessary to expand the graphic memory, then it is possible to
change it in the BIOS. The motherboard manual describes how
you can change the memory capacity. If the process is not
described, it is not possible to adjust the graphic memory. If you
are still in any doubt, contact the Hotline.

In general 64 MB of graphic memory is the default setting.

Caution!

The memory capacity set for the graphics card is
subtracted from the main memory capacity of your
system.
E.g. 256 MB (main memory) – 64 MB (graphics
memory) = 192 MB (available main memory)
