I have an 8800GTS with 640mb of memory. However when I go to check in direct x (dxdiag), it claims that my card has 1371 mb of memory...Why is this? Is it assigning virtual memory to my graphics card? Or is something not being read right by the diagnostic?

most graphics cards will "share" ram with the system....which means the system will reserve a certain portion of the system ram for the graphics card...

Make sure what you are viewing is under the "display" tab and the the "system" tab.

It is under the display tab. It made me curious because this wasnt the case with my old computer. It used to only display the ram on board the actual video card.
