    Hp offers a 319 MB video card on their pavilion laptops.

    My question is...It's not really 319 mb card, is it?

    Is it actually supposed to be a 64mb card, or is it a 128 mb card?

    Thanks

    HP uses a 8400M 64MB card in the DV2500Ts and a 128MB card in the DV6500Ts. Then they add in shared RAM of 256MB for a 1GB system and list that as the specs (though for whatever reason, when HP adds 64 to 256, they get 319 instead of 320). Also if you have a 2GB system, it allocates up to 768MB for the video card. You can find this information in the fine print. Its *very* misleading by HP.
