If you can do it, it's in the BIOS. Do you want to lower allocation? If that's the case, it isn't taking up 256MB all the time, only when it needs it. HyperMemory dynamically shifts based on what it needs. Adding more to it's allocation won't do anything as the part isn't fast enough to take advantage of extra memory.
