The GTX 880m on this has 4GB of VRAM and the system itself has 4GB integrated. The integrated graphics card is simply a shared memory of your system's RAM and is usually very bad for gaming. Also similar to SLI and Crossfire, this does not mean there is 8GB of VRAM and a matter of fact, they do not work at the same time. It will switch to the Integrated graphics card when doing low graphic processes like flash games or youtube and will switch (Unless you manually change it in the settings) when you play more high end games such as Skyrim.

Edison Sandoval knows what he's talking about his answer is correct. John Livingston does not know on board graphics vs. the 880M. The on board graphics will share the system memory not the 880.

Not sure till I get nine but read this: In terms of system memory, our V7 review unit featured 8GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) RAM. Of this total, 4 GB is soldered permanently to the system board, while the other 4 GB is a replaceable SODIMM. A grand total of 12 GB is possible if the 4 GB module is replaced with an 8 GB SODIMM.

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

just so the record is set straight on the max ram for this system it is 4GB not 2GB, i have 2 systems of this type one with and one without the external gpu. both of which i have upgraded to 4GB (though the system only shows 3.25GB). that being said the the system with the integrated graphics was picky about it's ram sticks. I ended up actually putting one of my older sticks from the other system in it along with one of the new one's I had bought in it, but they both work fine after that.

Mine was 8. I don't think the memory size matters, just the model/generation.

Based on the specs and guide, this model supports a maxmum of 8GB of DDR3-1600 MHz RAM in two DIMMs (4GB x 2 SODIMM slots = 8GB).

This particular model is capable of 16GB maximum across 2 ram slots. The current configuration is 8GB in a 2 x 4GB configuration.

My system came with a GeForce GTX 660 which has 2048 MB of internal ram. Good Luck, Paul

Hi Deborah, the 8 chips are really not important, what is important is that the one you received is 2GB 1066MHz DDR3 Non-ECC SODIMM. Here is a link to someone doing the upgrade http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_FiUCfyiQw the one he is installing is 2GB and only 4 chips. Side note: as technology progresses memory manufactures are able to get more memory on a single chip; usually at a lower cost. The 8 chip version has 256MB per chip and the 4 chip version has 512MB per chip (or 256MiB and 512MiB to be technically correct).

No, from what I read before purchasing, the memory is soldered to the motherboard. It's a great laptop, but honestly, if you NEED 8gigs, you should probably be looking into a different laptop anyway. I can't imagine anything you might use this laptop for anything that would require more ram given that the processor wouldn't really be suited best for those types of computer work.

I'm sorry. I don't have that kind of information. But there's a model with a 2GB graphics card.

Since it is a 64 bit system, you can upgrade the ram up to 32gigs but the most available in one RAM card is 8 gigs so 16 gigs is pretty much the max.

There are two memory slots which can take 2@4BG or 2@8GB. It comes with one slot taken at 4GB. I added a second so now have 8BG. It was easyYou will need to get unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 204-pin SO-DIMMs

I did a friend a favor some time ago, I purchase the memory and installed it.I believe it was (2 GB sticks) 8 GB total.

Got mine yesterday (not from Amazon but a "stock" version) and it foes have 16GB system RAM and 3GB DDR5 on the 870m GPU.
