Macbook Video RAM hack?

The macbook shares vram with the system ram.

 

We're well aware of this. The OP is asking if it's possible to change the amount of vram that's allocated to the GMA950. In OSX it gets 64mb, while Windows gives it 224mb.

There is speculation and apparently documentation from Apple stating that the GMA can grab more if needed. This information is toward the bottom of the linked thread.

I saw a lot of people in that thread talking about having 40 windows open.... seriously.

 

It grabs more if needed and it is available AFAIK, but if its needs more and other apps are using the RAM than the vram will have to work with what it has.

 

As stated in the quote from the apple web site it use's what it needs, i dont see any reason why you would want to force a set amount
