Any shared video has always had the gamer complain. NEVER consider such for games.
It is counter intuitive that reducing the shared video size has resulted in better gameplay, but you need to test such with your game. Also, you have to drop the game's graphic feature to bare minimums to get it to go...
As far as switching... I have yet to find anyone that has swapped such a motherboard as well as any system with shared memory that allows one to add a dedicated video card. Its a choice you make and get to live with...
