    Hello,
    I'm looking at buying a "Hp Pavilion zv5325ca" laptop. I was wondering with the video card it is a "128MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9000". Does it have it's own memory or is it shared with the system's memory? Also, what kind of ram does it use cause I am looking at taking it up to 1gb?

    It does have its own memory for that particular laptop, that's a generous amount.

    I think its actually the memory grabbing ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP chipset (the ATI RS300 motherboard chipset) it uses your system memory.

    I've got a Presario R3116 which has the 9100 IGP, and you can select how much memory it can use (16/32/64/128Mb) from the BIOS.

    I recently increased my memory to 1Gb as well - the laptop is so much quicker!
