Phoenix BIOS and shared graphic memory issue for hp pavilion

Hello everyone :)

I have a hp pavilion ze2120ca notebook (hp pavilion ze2100 series)
It comes with Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset
The shared memory is set at 128MB by the manufacturer
I know this integrated graphic chip is capable of sharing 256MB of memories (or even 512MB according to someone)

I tried to increase my shared memories to 256 or 512 under BIOS, but there isn't a video memory option under the advanced option in BIOS (I have the F.22 BIOS )

Now I know hp sucks when it comes to BIOS and it's very limiting on what you can do on there. But is there anyway I can bypass this or mod my BIOS so I can change my shared memory size for my graphics?

Many Thnx

128MB is max. Even if you get it to have more it wouldn't help in performance.
