Why does it say up to 3053MB of graphics memory, but mine only has 512MB..?

It has the capability to handle up to 3053MB of graphics memory, but this model only has 512MB initially installed. You can, however, purchase additional memory to add to your computer if you want to.

I don't think there's any way of readily knowing that, but I'd guess it's not much larger that what's needed to support a framebuffer for the highest display resolution it supports, that being roughly 2048x1152. In other words, I'd wager the video memory is in the ballpark of 8MB. But it doesn't really matter for these devices: All they are are simple framebuffers; they don't provide any texture storage or 3D acceleration or otherwise make use of their internal memory for things that a traditional (internal) video card does; all the rendering is do by your PC's CPU, and memory from your regular old RAM is used for the rendering before updates are sent out to the display display adapters.

If I looked at the correct specifications sheet for your laptop, it should have 2 memory slots. The following is your specs: Memory RAM 512.0 MB ( 1 x 512 MB ) Max RAM Supported 2.0 GB Technology DDR2 SDRAM Speed 533.0 MHz / PC2-4200 Slots Qty 2 Empty Slots 1.0 This tells me you can pull the 512Mb memory chip and replace it with a 1Gb memory set. Find the 2nd memory slot, that should be empty and insert the 2nd memory set. Pay close attention to proper insertion. There is usually a slot or separation point that will match up to the slot. You may also find detailed information for your laptop by doing a Google search for it. Look for detailed specs or specifications to find what you need. There will be information where to find the location of the chips. Also, double check the memory you purchased. The description has to match exactly or it will not work with your computer. The memory you bought does not match the specs! It should be 1GB DDR2 SDRAM 533Mhz PC-2 4200. Anything else is wrong. Please write back to me if you need too. I'm always willing to help.

It looks like the motherboard on that computer has a limit of 8 GB total. Therefore 2x8 GB modules are not supported.

It all depends on what your Motherboard calls for. Research the 'specs' of your computer. If it's working and is a Windows computer then your "Sys info" in windows will tell you what type memory you have.

It varies on what else you have installed. like if this will be your only graphics card, then it should be enough, but only barely.

You got to open your computer ram and see how many slots were there... you said ur computer has 4gb ram usually it should be in 2 slots 2gb each and u can change one of the slot and put the higher gb one to improve performance.. remember before you go for higher gb one you should check online whether ur computer supports the new ram or not..

You need to check your memory slots they could be full using 2x2GB Ram or 1x4GB Ram if so you may purchase 1x4GB Ram to make it 8GB Ram if not you need to purchase 2x4GB Ram

the board has physical room for two of these. the pc originally had 512 that took up half the space . I installed a 1GB in one half. It worked. then I bought this amazon and installed it in the other half when I kept getting virtual memeory prompts again afte a few months. To noeffect, except that the pc shows it as having two GB installed. I de-installed wverything that eats RAM and I still can't go ten minutes past strtup without geting virtual memory message . I check the capacity and it stil shows plenty, under sixty percent in use when the messge pops up.

You have 512 megabytes of RAM on your motherboard. Do you know the maximum RAM your board will accept? There IS an upper limit you know. win707 is right. Go to www.crucial.com put in your computer model and other information it asks you.

When look in my computer's info it sees it as the GTX 650 so I'd say its the 2GB video card not the 1GB(Well that's what my computer says Any way)

It says max memory is 8 in the specs. That is usually a motherboard limitation.

It depends upon how much memory you have installed when you buy it. I bought 8GB of RAM. I will probably never fill it up.

Usually that space is used when formatting the memory, mine was formatted as FAT32 and shows 30.98 GB
