Re: Video Card..

Interesting as on my XP and my Vista system both with 4GB of Ram and two
ATI 
Radeon 1650 Pro cards each with 512MB Windows re****ts only the system
memory 
and not the video ram. I know some laptop computers use system memory for 
video memory but I have never seen a desktop system do this. How do you
know 
that .25GB is the video ram and just part of the 4GB?
