    The video card is supposed to be 256MB in the SZ110. Is this 128MB from the GeForce 7400 128MB and 128MB from the Shared card? When I load up dxdiag it tells me that I only have 128MB from the GeForce. Is this normal?

    Yes, that is fully normal, Sony just tricked you unfortunately as do many companies with their marketing. :mad:
    Its 128 dedicated and 128 shared.

    yes. it's only 128MB VRAM. Even if it was 256MB that won't make much difference as the go 7400 cannot make use of 256MB
