Acer Aspire 5672 WLMi, properties says 512mb but bios says otherwise?

by zack247 . Updated 15 years, 4 months ago

so quite recently, i got a laptop, an Acer Apire 5672 WLMi to be exact. So im a person who likes to play games on their pc and so i installed 2gb of ram. when i first got it, i went into the bios t see if i could use any of the ram as video memory, no luck, the “128mb” was unavailable for selection.
Just today, i hooked up a second monitor, i had gone into properties in the display settings tab, and in there it claimed that my video card was a 512mb one, not 128. if anyone wants i can upload a picture to prove it.
if my laptop does in fact have 512mb of video memory, how do i use it all?

it runs windows xp home edition, service pack 3.
has 2gb of ddr2 ram.
1.6GHz intel centrino duo processor
160gb sata hard drive.

so is the 512mb real? or is windows just misreading the amount of memory?
