No. Not unless the video card supports Turbocache (nVidia) or Hypermempry (ATi). If it is an integrated card then it is already taking memory from your ram (which I assume it is not doing). If it were you would be able to allocate more memory to it via the BIOS. But, if it is a dedicated 32MB card of an older generation (Geforce2, Geforce4 or comparable ATi chip) then no, you cannot allocate more of your memory to video.

goto the BIOS at the startup by pressing F2 or dell button. check for something called "shared VRAM". As its set to 32, you will find a value of 32 beside it. Increase to 64. remember this memory is teken from RAM. This will slow down the laptop a bit. ADD a ram module if possible.

yep you can do this in the bios (if your video card supports it)
