    The GeForce Go 7600 can't even make use of it's own 512MB of VRAM, much less TurboCached system memory, so I doubt that it would even use the 'alloted' memory.

    There should be an option to remove the alloted memory under the nVidia control page, I think.

    Quite right.
    And since the 512Mb dedicated v-ram is empty, the system ram will not be touched.
