Memory

Intel graphics do not have dedicated memory but utilizes some of the computer’s system memory The amount of memory used for graphics depending on the amount of system memory installed, BIOS settings, operating system, and system load. 32MB is pre-allocated for graphics use at system boot time. Additional memory can be allocated at boot time by the BIOS for PAVP (Protected Audio Video Playback) support for playback of protected video content.

Additional memory is allocated for graphics as needed using Intel's Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT), to provide an optimal balance between graphics and system memory use.
