True, wrong forum.
You CAN add VRAM to some older Macintosh units by upgrading the video card. Newer systems do not have user-swappable cards you maximize your VRAM when you build and order the device at the store.
Sorry I am in the wrong forum. I do have an older Mac. I upgraded the RAM earlier, so that's why I was wondering about VRAM. I was also reading where you can ask the system to designate more RAM to the VRAM? I figured I would probably have to upgrade the video card.
Thanks for the help!
I have to disagree with you. It is possible to upgrade your graphics card via PCIe to thunderbolt. People have been upgrading the graphics card of the MacBook (Pro's) by attaching an nvidia card via Thunderbolt with a PCIe to Thunderbolt adapter.

OP asked if he could install more VRAM, no he can not. Can he install a new graphic card with more VRAM ?, yes, but that is a different thing
