    It cannot be done under OSX. It may be possible to allocate more RAM in Windows but I don't think so.

    It'd not make much difference anyway: it's using the standard system RAM, not much faster, dedicated graphics RAM like a real graphics chip.

    Not really, especially not in OS X. Its not a dedicated card so no matter how much RAM you allocate, there wouldn't be much a difference.
