Increased RAM, increased video memory?

[eeriephenomenon]

I'm going to be getting a 13" MBP soon and since I was thinking about upgrading the RAM it got me thinking... because the GPU is integrated and uses shared memory does that mean that when I upgrade the RAM the video memory would be upgraded as well? or would it be static at 256MB?

9400M = shares with your overall memory.
9600GT = 256 or 512 stand alone memory.

That said, VRAM has LITTLE to do with performance in comparison to the architecture of the GPU.

Would be static at 256MB.

ok thanks for clarifying!
