I am about to get Dead Space through this one game trading site, so I went and tested my PC with canyourunit and I was shocked at this odd stat I found:

My card is supposed to be a mere 512mb but that doesn't seem to be the case.

It does it for any game I check through the site.
Is there any software or way I can check my video RAM to see if its just a site error?

Must be a site error. The only cards that have that much memory cost like > $1000.

Well I was curious and Googled it and turns out the extra RAM was "Shared System Memory" which is a feature of Vista.
I guess having a full 4gb installed on 32bit makes the extra, capped RAM spill over. Neato.

I got an nVidia GeForce GT 220, and so far it can run any game I got. Not sure about Crysis, perhaps I could try.
