Is There a Way to Increase The V-RAM Above 256MB
Hi, I have had my mac mini for about 5 months, and in that time have also maxed out the ram (4GB). I was wondering if there is a way to force the amount of Video-RAM above 256MB. Is there any thing i can change in system preferences?

This model uses a GeForce 9400M that shares memory with the system. I have not found where that could be upgraded, but:
Officially, this model is capable of supporting 4 GB of RAM, but as first reported by MacminiColo, this model unofficially can use 8 GB of RAM after applying EFI Firmware Update 1.2. You might try that route.

The video ram is a fixed amount that is a separate piece of ram from the main RAM. It comes with the video card/chip and cannot be upgraded unless you buy a new video card. I cant really understand what you mean by ‘maxing out the RAM’ please explain further
