    Hey guys. I recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite a215-s7414 notebook. I have upgraded the ram to 2gig from the 1gig and also updated vista with sp1and the newest bios. Well, the computer spec states that the ATI X1200 graphic card has a 128-312mb shared memory but when I checked, from the ati catalyst control center and display setting from vista, it shows a total of 831mb/703mb shared. I dont get it? Does upgrading the ram to 2gig contribute to this? Thanks in advance.
