I've noticed some BIOS' do not allow the full capacity of unified memory to be allocated, so if you do this check you can actually allocate 16GB, some are limited to 2 or 4GB, seemingly unnecessarily

Apparently this is a legacy holdover and you should choose the smallest size in the bios. Fully unified memory is the norm, you don’t need to do the memory splitting that way.
