The system has NVIDIA Geforce 9300M GS with 256MB of VGA memory, but Windows XP shows 512MB in graphic card property page and NVIDIA control panel.

If the system is installed of Windows Vista / Windows 7, user can check there is 256MB of [fixed video memory] from "Control Panel\ Display\ Monitor Resolution\ Advanced\ Adapter" tab.
