I've got a NX6120 and have just upgraded the RAM from 512MB to 2GB and put in a larger harddrive. Since I've done this I seem to have less shared video memory. I've looked into it a bit and found the following;
In the manual it reads;
| Chipset | Mobile Intel 915GM Express Chipset | ||
| Graphics | Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 with up to 128-MB shared system memory |
But my video driver information reads;

I've read online that you should be able to adjust the shared memory manually or have it do it automatically which it seems to be doing now but ripping me off 64MB (I want to play Oblivion which requires 128MB)
Does anyones have any suggestions on how I might go about fixing this? I've downloaded the video driver today and believe it to be the latest. Do I need to to flash the BIOS? the BIOS currently on here is - 68DTD dated 12/02/2004 F.01
Any ideas? do I look into other drivers or it the BIOS that decides how much shared video memory will be allocated? I'm a wee bit puzzeled here because the BIOS has not changed.
Thanks
