Full Graphics Acceleration of Intel HD 3000 on HP Probook 6460b

Hello everybody !
I own a HP Probook 6460b. I followed RehabMan's guide to install El Capitan 10.11 and patch the system. I'm successful. Thanks to RehabMan. Later, I applied combo update from 10.11 to 10.11.6. That was fine too. No patches has been broken so far. The only problem is about Graphics. My laptop has Intel HD 3000 Graphics and it shows only 384 MB are available out of almost 1600 MB. Is there any effective way to enable full graphics memory ?

8GB or higher installed in Dual Channel mode is recommend with Intel HD 3000. VRAM for HD 3000 with 8GB or more is 512MB.

You must have only 4GB RAM installed. Add RAM so you have 8GB.

Thanks for your reply. I'll add 4 GB more.

Make sure you have 2x 4GB in a matching pair. Never a good idea to have mixed RAM.
