The real question is why you paid $650 for that shit.

i didn't have any other laptop except for a shitty intel atom netbook, and i needed a laptop for uni
i dunno, it was literally half price and i have never had an issue with it

If the graphics card does not have any onboard memory.

Then it will use the system RAM instead. This can properly be increased and decreased by software.

probably because new version requires more video ram so it borrowed some from ram

that's what i thought, but it displays it like pic related
it displays it like the installed ram is 4, and the vram (can it be called that if it's integrated graphics?) as 1.5
the ram has always been 4gb, and i haven't seen any increase in ram usage, neither under normal load, using 3d software, or even vidyas

Thats how it is though no matter how OS displays it. It doesnt always take up that 1500mb, it allocates depending on the use

This goes back to the Olden Days when the screen buffer was in main RAM and you could change the bytes between the scan lines.
On the Apple IIgs there was an interrupt when the scan line ended and you could roll the color pallets to make the screen writhe.

You're an idiot
