like Vista, Windows 7 takes advantage of your extra ram and share it with your video.



the 512mb video card becomes 1gb+
Ahhhh. Ok. As for the video ram...... Isn't that just like a laptop video chip except the limit is higher? Normally I'd thumb my nose at it because in the past, system ram tended to be much slower than dedicated video ram. It's kinda like virtual memory where hard drive space supplemented system ram.

But, I guess the method has its uses like not needing to swap out textures (in FSX), for example. I've already seen my 512mb card get overwhelmed with textures swapping out every time I pan the view around.
