The amount of allocated VRAM is handled automatically. So you don't have to care about any settings. If you need more than 128MB the BIOS will increase the VRAM.
If you have only 512MB installed, the maximum VRAM might be limited by your main RAM. In this case inserting more RAM will also increase your maximum available VRAM.
