New laptop and card

account.reynold · 08-23-2006, 11:49 PM

I am buying a new hpdv5000t with a 1.83 ghz duocore processor with 1 gig of ram and a 128mb geforce go 7400. I was wondering if Hp is actually telling the truth about the 128 mb of dedicated memory that this graphics card has or does it simply steal the memory from my 1 gig? I have read many articles where people with this card have gotten this card to run at 512mb with hypermemory. I want to know

A: does this card have 128mb dedicated memory?
B: what is the most memory it can take from my RAM to use for 3d gaming?

thanks

Ya sort of what I expected, but It did give me a little more assurance that it does have hypermemory or whatever its called. thanks for the reply but if anyone want to furhter this by explaining that would be good.

According to this, only the Go 7200 is shared:

I doubt it has hypermemory.
