Cannot increase dedicated memory - Intel HD Graphics

Hello!

I am unable to increase the dedicated memory on my "Intel HD Graphics" - graphic card. I would love to increase it for a game (WoW) to run smoother (right now it freezes and the FPS is kind of low). I've seen a few tutorials about increasing the dedicated memory in BIOS but there is no option to change the dedicated memory only the "Total Memory" is displayed. I've tried to upgrade the BIOS (got it from the computer manufactors site) and the drivers for Intel HD Graphics (i have rolled it back now).

Please see specs below, thank you! The first section is in swedish, i hope that is not an issue.

In most cases, the computer manufacturer has already configured the system to use the maximum amount of graphics memory that is possible for your particular computer model.

Below is a URL that explains what is the maximum amount of graphics memory your graphics controller could use:
