    I purchased a dell 6400 with a 128mb ATI x1300 with hypermemory. Dell's website says there is 64mb on board with another 64 allocated on the systems memory.

    All reviews of this card i've seen say theres 32mb on board.

    Anyone knows which one is it?

    thnx

    According to dells site it's 64MB's dedicated and 64 shared like you said. The reviews for the x1300 were those on different laptops? Because for example you can get a 64MB X700, 128MB, or a 256MB one.

    yup. If its a 128 hypermemory it could possibly be 64mb dedicated + 64mb Shared. Same as 256 hypermemory. 128 dedicated and 128 shared. Not really sure if you can specify the amount of memory used in hypermemory. But according to some articles here in notebook forum, It is always like half dedicated + half shared memory = Total hyper memory.
