On the laptop itself (the sticker) as well as best buys website both list it as having a nvidia g force 6150 with 128 shared, yet the bios and the box the laptop came in say its up to 256 shared

any help of info on this, how can I see what it really has? thank you.

well if you have acess, i'd go to control panel > display > settings > advanced
and just shuffle through the tabs.

it definitly says 256. even the settign in the nvidia window say 256, i wonder why the website would say 128. Another question is the computer says it has 1gb or ram, yet it shows 960. Now i understand that the shared memory takes some, but doing the math thats only 64, the bios is set to 256, so is it only using 64 unless i open a game? or am i missing something, thank you

I have this same Graphics card and it uses the memory as it needs it. It starts with 64meg for the basics and then uses what it needs, as it needs it all the way up to 256.
