    I recently got a new laptop that was supposed to include a 256 MB video card:

    320-4810 1 256MB Ge Force 7300 Graphics card for Inspiron 6400/E1505

    However, when I go into the setup area for the laptop it reports my video memory as 128 MB. It also lists 128 MB of dedicated video memory under the adapter tab in the advanced display settings. Was the right video card included in my laptop?

    It is the right card because dell lists the go7300 as a 128mb dedicated gpu up to 256mb turbocache. To get 256mb, the gpu uses some of your systems ram.

    ATI's version of "turbocache" is "Hypermemory".
