Changing the video memory size

You can change the video memory size of your computer in the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). Changing
the video memory size will automatically modify the main memory size of your computer.
Increasing the video memory size will speed up graphically intensive applications, such as image editors or
computer games. However, the higher you choose to set the video memory, the less conventional memory
you will have. Less conventional memory may slow down switching between open applications.
To change the video memory size of your computer, proceed as follows:
1 Turn on you computer.
Make sure that no peripheral devices (apart from the AC adapter) are connected.
2 When the Sony logo appears, press the <F2> key.
The BIOS setup window appears.
3 Choose the Advanced tab by using the right arrow key.
4 On the Advanced tab sheet, choose UMA Video Memory size by using the down arrow key.
5 Press Enter.
A pop-up window appears, containing three memory sizes: 32 MB, 64 MB and 128 MB.
6 In the pop-up window, choose a memory size.
7 Press Enter.
The memory size is changed.
8 To quit the BIOS setup window, press the <Esc> key.
9 Choose Exit (save Changes) and press Enter.
A pop-up window appears, containing the question: Save configuration and exit now?.
10 Choose Yes to save you changes and exit.
Your computer will restart.
-or-
choose No to return to the BIOS setup window.
You can check the video memory size on the About the Computer tab sheet in VAIO Notebook Setup.
