I have a 2,1 macbook with 4GB ram of which 64mb are dedicated to the video card. Can I increase this to at least 512?

Generally, VRAM is soldered on/in somewhere. I suppose you could, if you had the know how, but the short answer is, no.

Edit: That is, VRAM is not (usually) taken from the pool of "available RAM," it's actually separate RAM entirely. And dedicated to the GPU, only.

Actually, MacBooks tend to have integrated graphics, which do not have separate VRAM - they do use the same RAM as everything else. Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a way to increase the RAM allotment. – CajunLuke Jan 7 '11 at 19:34
