Activate shared memory usage on Intel processors
You have a Dell Inspiron 15 5567 with a Service Tag and Service Code. The system runs Intel i7-7th Gen 7500u, has 32 GB RAM in dual channels, and an AMD R7 GPU. You're seeing unused shared memory (16 GB) during gaming. Someone can help you enable it or troubleshoot the issue. Regarding using an external GPU, yes, you can connect one via the tray's DVD drive or SD card slot.
Shared GPU memory suggests the GPU has 4GB built-in and requires an additional 16GB from system RAM, bringing the total to 20GB. The extra space is reserved only when the internal 4GB runs low. External GPUs typically connect via a mini-PCIe slot with WiFi access. The DVD uses SATA, and the memory card is likely USB-based.
