    I just bought a DV5201. Comets website said the item had 512 of ram but when i look at the sytem info it says it only has 384 mb or ram. Is this becuase it has 128mb shared gfx card so it wont show as 512 mb. Or should it show 512 whatever and it only actually has 384mb or ram?? Here is a link to there website

    Yes, since the graphics card is integrated and uses 128MB of your RAM, windows properties menu will only show the available memory for it to use which is 384MB.
