    On the powernotebooks site it says "X1600 w/up to 512MB" for the z/s96j. Does that mean it will be 256 dedicated with 256 hypermem?

    No, it will only take the extra 256mb if it is needed. Usually 256mb dedicated on your card is enough.

    Yes its hypermemory. 256mb dedicated to the card, and then the card can take 256mb from the system memory if it needs it.
