    I've heard it mentioned but I can't find the setting anywhere in the nvidia control panel to disable the 8400m stealing from system ram. Anyone know how?

    2GB, it says in the control panel that its able to tap into 767MB for a total of 895MB. I'm not sure how much it actually uses but I'd rather it just keep to it's 128 MB of dedicated.
