    I see that the GPU is listed as 512mb, yet when I placed the GT240m card from the M15X into my 5935g it showed and used 1GB of VRAM :confused:

    Whoops missed there was an actual alienware section.

    But yeah not only does GPU-Z confirm 1GB but looking at the modules spec sheets they add up to 1GB.

    Don't have it in my machine atm but I remember being surprised when I recieved it.
