in some intel chipset based onboard motherboards there is a limit of sharing ram for video memory . for eg if u r having 256 mb memory then ur onboard then u mightnot b able to share more than 16mb , when u will add more memory ur onboard memory will automatically increase to 64 mb
__________
BTW u can try changing in ur BIOS settings

For Intel M/B. may differ for other m/b

RE-ALLOCATE/resize the OnBoard Gfx RAM.
You can do this by going to BIOS->Advanced->Video Memory->Press Enter.

In the sub-screen you'll have lot of choices(e.g-8/0/120/128, 8/0/56/64) in the following manner=="Pre Allocated/Fixed/DVMT/Total Video Memory".
It works like this-- Pre-allocated+Fixed+DVMT=Total Vid. Mem.
Select a setting in which you have a Total Video Memory of 64MB,.... FIXED Memory should always be ZERO. (until unless you have more than 512MB RAM),
you can also increase the total gfx mem. to 128MB if your M/B supports it.(most probably it would, but stick to 64MB, as most game would run fine in this setting)
