Hey everybody,
I've had my current computer (a Toshiba Satellite P755) for a little over a year now. I've not really had a problem playing games with it before until I recently tried to play the new XCOM game. I used Can you RUN it to see what the problems were. It tells me everything is more than enough to run it except for my dedicated virtual ram. I currently have 64mb free and need 256mb. Using a few youtube videos and looking around I see that all I should have to do is go into my BIOS menu and change it under the chipset options. However, my computer doesn't have a chipset menu in it, and from everything I've read it seems to be that way with most pre made computers. I have more than enough free mb to give to it (1696 free mb to be specific), and what I was hoping is, is there some way to where I can add the chipset function to the BIOS or is there another way to add the virtual ram, or is the only option "run out and buy a better computer?" because the latter is not an option, especially considering the capabilities are built into the computer, it just seems to have a limit placed on it for some reason or another.
If you need any specs or information other than what I gave I can give them, but I figured this would be a pretty simple "yes its possible" or "not it sure isn't" question.
Thanks ahead of time.
