    I use srtest.com to see how well my laptop passes the recommended settings of games.

    Strange thing I noticed recently. Under the video cards section, the RAM is not showing 1 GB like it should. It keeps on saying 716.7 MB. Is there something wrong with my video card? I thought that the ATI HD 5870 had 1 GB of RAM.

    Use GPU z. srtest is very very very very inaccurate. Yes you have a 1gb card.
