Sorry, my video card has 320mb, not 640mb. I forgot I bought the cheaper one....lol.
It is not integrated tho and when I check the display properties it say that it has
256 physical memory (nvidia driver glitch apparently) but it also says that I have
a total of 768mb of memory available which leads me to believe that it is sharing
system memory. Which I imagine is why when I look in the task manger that it says
it's using over 700mb of ram the processes add up to only about 200 and something.
WEIRD!!!
