My host machine has a 2GB graphic card (GeForce GT740M) but VirtualBox allows me to use just 256MB of memory. Because I would use CAD applications on Win7 (Guest) I would like to have more memory to run them properly.
I've installed guest additions.
I've searched online and I've found some different suggestions like:
- Manually modify the value on a file in VirtualBox folder
- Use the command
VBoxManage modifyvm "Windows 7" --vram 1024
Both solutions are unstable and often give a boot error.
I've found also this TomsHardware thread and it says that no, there's no way to go above 256MB of VRAM.
To me it sounds ridiculous this cap on the VRAM (but there has to be a reason). Anyone may help to overcome it?
