what about the gateway support site?

And without a specific reason like stability problems or others I wouldn't touch a laptop Bios. If the flash goes wrong then it may be expensive to get it working again.

the support site offered no bios update.

as far as i know my system is only using 8mb of shared memory and i wanna increase the amount to 64mb but my bios only allows up to 32

-> Specification lists only 32MB shared memory so more is not possible.
