I know but its able to borrow which is why it can play games that need more video ram than what the card is labeled at. And i just told you. It's an ATI Radeon 7500.

No, I meant the model of laptop. And the Radeon 7500 is dedicated, and the Radeon 7000 is shared, I think.

I dont know. Maybe because it is dedicated. I played Far Cry on my ATI Radeon 7000 IGP (128 MB shared) and it works ok.

Ya i guess but its still a smaller ammount of memory than what the games ask for. And while your here what does intel pentium 4 xeon mean? Is that refering to the model or something unimportant?

It's not in your laptop. You have a Pentium 4-M.

I did one of those microsoft game lab scans where you can see if your computer can run the games you want and stuff. And it scanned and told me my specs. And it says Intel Pentium 4 Xeon 1.8 Ghz.
