Vitec,

You say your Laptop is only reporting ?gb in Vista yet you Upgraded the Graphics Memory to 1GB?? If your card is ON BOARD with shared RAM I would suggets this is your Missing 1GB. Otherwise Id really check that you have the 64 Bit OS or a faulty RAM board!

Your in the Laptop trap - what you have is what your stuck with Graphics wise especially if its an On Board setup. The dedicated Laptop Graphics Cards can be upgarded but its not a simple or Cheap exercise and the Boards were never designed for an easy upgrade route more for an Easy respec route for Manufacturers and teh replacement cards are very difficult to find. Changing Laptop cards needs a lot to be taken into consideration as there are differing card types that come with different profile sizes. You also have to be very carefull checking the Thermal Designation of the replacement card as the Laptop case and built in cooling may not be able to handle to increased Heat output.
