You can't upgrade the VRAM only RAM (which will give you a decent speed bump)

The model you have has the integrated Intel HD3000 graphics
which shares system memory. The amount of video memory
is set based on system memory. If you upgrade to 8 gig of
system memory, you will end up with 512 meg of video memory.
I installed these:

in both my MacMini Server and my 13" i7 Macbook Pro and have not
had any issues.

The 2,5 GHz model has AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics processor
with 256MB of GDDR5 memory. This memory is fixed and cannot
be changed.
"if i get 16 gb of ram how much video ram do i get?"
The Mini only officially supports up to 8 gig of RAM.
check out this website http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S16P/
they say the mac mini suports up to 16 gb of ram
They say it will work. Apple only officially supports 8.
Any OS update can wipe out that capability and has happened
in the past.
Some systems would run with more than officially supported
RAM and when the update came along it reverted to the max
for the machine.
Still doesn't improve much from my experience..I went up to 8GB still ****** scrolling..very choppy with some pages..not impressed with me EXPENSIVE purchase so far...quick time freezing..dunno maybe I got a defective unit
No, I do not think you have a defective unit... unless we both have defective units, just joking 🙂
I have investigated the same poor graphics performance and found that it is a problem with very poor HD3000 drivers for OS X. In my unit the driver does even refure to load by default and the very basic graphic driver for i5, the SNB frame buffer, is doing the whole work.

Just install OpenGL Extension Viewer from AppStore and check.
My system is DDR3 1333 MHZ memory. Inbulit i have 2 gb memory.
But i want to upgrade my RAM speed 2 gb into 4 gb. can you help me.
If any options to upgrade the RAM speed at free of cost.
You can get about a faster and better 512 MB of Graphics RAM, or maybe a GB if u have installed 16 GB of RAM in your computer.
get Kingston HyperX PnP 1866MHz RAM (KHX18LS11P1K2/16)

I bought it a week ago for my mini 2011, and it working without problems, all 16 GB running at 1867MHz
of course it's not recommended by apple, but it working 😝
