Hey guys, I never really knew, but what is the difference between dedicated and virtual memory in regards to video cards (basically laptop memory cards).

The one I got says that it is 256MB, but I found out it is 128 dedicated and 256 with virtual (actually system info quotes 368 or so).

Anyways, thanks for the info guys.
