In PCs, video memory comes in two very different forms:
1) VRAM -- this consists of specialized video memory chips that are soldered to the system board (in laptops) or to the video card (in desktops). There is a fixed amount of memory -- what the chips have -- and that can't be altered.
2) System RAM -- this consists of the video chip "stealing" memory from the system memory chips. This amount is usually adjustable and can be found in the BIOS settings.
Thus, if you have 1), you can't change the allocated video memory; if you have 2), you most likely can.
