    It's 3GB (hex BF A0 00 00 = decimal 3,214,934,016 bytes), so there should be no issues. And you have an Optimus (=switchable) system, meaning even 3.5GB wouldn't be a problem since activating the eGPU can free up the resources currently claimed by the 630M.

    @t456 Thank you very much!! I was trying to get it but I couldn't. Thanks for taking your time and helping me.
    I can disable the dgpu from bios, so I guess that doing so well free the resources for the egpu as you pointed out.
