i just got a new 15" powerbook as a graduation present, and apparently my parents had ordered it with the upgraded 128mb of vram.
now when i go to the system profiler, under the PCI/AGP card > display section, it says: VRAM (In Use): 64 MB
this might be a kind of stupid question, but does that mean this computer only has 64mb overall on it? or is that just what is being used now, and it could still possibly have 128mb (which is what it's supposed to have)?
cheers

well i just check my pb ... (1.25 fw800) and is says "VRAM in use 64MB) so i am assuming that your video card is only 64mb and not 128
edit:: just checked the line above this in system profiler that says ATY,RV350M10 and is says VRAM (Total) 64MB so you might want to check that line and see if it says 128MB

And, just to confirm on the other end, I ordered 128 MB of VRAM for my powerbook, and here's what it says under PCI/AGP Cards, in the section titled ATY,RV360M11:
Code:
Type: display
Bus: AGP
VRAM (Total): 128 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x4e50
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-xxxxx-134
Display:
Type: display
Display Type: LCD
VRAM (In Use): 128 MB
Resolution: 1280 x 854
Depth: 32-bit Color
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
ATY,Jasper_B:
Status: No display connected
So yes, you should check it out with Apple...
