    Dedicated video memory: 1.3gb
    Shared system memory: 3.7gb
    Bt I started having problems with the hard drive and I formatted it and installed a windows7 ultimate 64bit. The problem now is dat when I checked the settings again it showed
    Total video memory: 1.694gb
    Dedicated video memory: 64mb
