    system thinks i have more Vram then i accually do!


    i have an Ati HD3850 512MB Vram.'

    but Dxdiag and can i run it both believe i have 1.7 GB vram... so unless my ready boost is expanding that (which i don't think it could) i may have a problem. there is not much else i can add.

    It's also using your system memory when telling you that. Nothing to worry about. If it's an AGP card, AGP Aperature size settings controls that in the bios.

    i have a PCI-E, and wouldnt the memory transferred into V-ram use disappear from my resorce manager and say i only have 1.5 gb usable memory? since i only have 3gb? but it still states all 3gigs are available and only 2mb is reserved for hardware

    Not really sure exactly, but it's no cause to worry. Especially since all system RAM is usable.
