The more u increase it,it will suck ur system memory.This is barely noticeable except games.

the current setting is a good one, coz most of the games need 64MB for gfx. as min. requirement.

if you reduce it to 32MB, most the games will not run.

can v disable this option so as to reclaim the full 512 mb ram??

you can do, but you will look at a blank screen on your monitor

untill unless you have a Dedicated Graphics card, you should not do this.

448MB RAM is good enough to play most of the games smoothly.
