That in itself doesn't mean that notebook has 128mb of video memory, it's just stating that the GPU supports it. You should contact the vendor/manufacturer to verify if that specific notebook has 128mb of video memory installed.

oh, the portable desktop station i'm looking like i'm making fun of it, but that's actually the kind of thing I'm planning to buy in a couple of year, not quite a DTR ( 10 lbs or 20lbs won't make much difference lol ) but something with the screen in it and good internal component for easy LAN and as home computer only. Most likely the card is a 128mb the way they're writing it is confusing though. Always better to check then regret not having.

Read the bold. Methinks its a 64MB GPU.

i dont think that adding the 512 RAM stick will help your Video Ram, they arent connected.

yep, that system is 64mb but there are 5700s with 128mb. try looking at the mwave uniwill system (or Averatec 6xxx) for a cheap and powerful DRT solution.
