They don't have that option of video memory on many of the micro atx
systems out there. None that I have see lately have an option to add
video ram. Micro ATX systems, especially the shrink wrapped ones from
major manufacturers, are all about keeping the cost down. Sockets cost
money, so they don't put them there if they can't use it as part of
the sales pitch.
