how do i check if my ram is shared with the graphics card?

G'Day,

Generally this can be seen in the BIOS, especially if you have 'on-board' graphics.

For example...if there is 1024MB RAM installed, and the graphics use 64MB RAM; then, the available RAM will be 960MB RAM.

If you want to determine this, you can go here, and download a freeware program called Everest™ Home Edition. (Click on the coloured link.)

Post back with any other queries/concerns.

Kind Regards,
