Minor notes to help the user finding the BIOS settings.
Ack! Just saw this too - Let me review. |

This is the initial memory used for your Intel GPU. By default it's usually 32MB, but for macOS it should be set to 64MB. If you don't have this option in your BIOS it can be patched later. | ||

Note: In BIOS can be stated as IGD - DVMT, Graphics Memory, DVMT/FIXED and similar. Check your manual if in doubt. |

Graphics Memory/Fixed is likely different from DVMT-Preallocation. DVMT-Preallocation is the initial amount set aside for the iGPU (and if this is too small, causes a panic). Graphics Memory/Fixed likely is the total memory amount that can be 100% be committed to the iGPU and not be used by the OS for other things. You want total memory generally to be set to max or at least 256/512MB (depending on the options there) just to keep things running well.
Hi 1Revenger1 thanks a lot for the comment. I’ll have look into it later – need to read it in depth 😊
Kindest regards
