Q: Can I "hack" my Mac Mini 5.1 to use more than 512Mb memory

Hi,

 

Can I "hack" my Mac Mini 5.1 to use more than 512Mb video memory when I have 8Gb memory installed? I would like to use 2Gb or equal.

 

Regards,

 

Lars Hansen

A:

The VRAM allocation for the HD3000 in the Mini is

512 Meg max, regardless of how much more RAM

is added and is most likely firmware limited, perhaps

even hardware limited.
