    the video card is hi-jacking 2GBs of ram for shared memory. where can i disable this? I didnt see any option in the BIOS or the nvidia control panel/properties.

    It will only use the RAM if necessary. Also, other tasks have priority over the GPU so you don't have to worry about it hogging RAM.
