I have an old IBM Touchpad T30 with the following specs:

Intel Pentium 4-M 2.0 GHz
Intel 845MP chipset
512 MB DDR SDRAM PC2100
(One dead slot this is the max I can install)
AGP 4x - ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 16MB DDR SDRAM (Integrated/shared memory)
Windows 7

I really kinda like this laptop and would like to carry it, however, it won't even play ZUMA, a game that really doesn't demand too much in the way of system resources. My question is this; Is it possible to increase the amount of shared RAM? In other words, can I steal more from the system to play light weight games? I don't expect miracles just a little bump ought to be enough to enjoy some minor oldies. I have read that it CAN be adjusted in the BIOS but I don't even see a spot to do so. I have also read it's impossible but some say they have done so. Anyway, thanks for reading and I will be anxiously awaiting your replies.

Nope. I still have my IBM ThinkPad T40 with the same Mobility Radeon 7500 video chip. There is no way at all to increase the shared RAM.

it really depends on what the manufacturer wants you to do in the bios most laptops you cant do sht but boot priority or setting the time/date etc. but i doubt you can do what you want
