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

doh, i completely missed that "total" listing above. yeah it says 64mb as well. looks like apple has jipped me. i'll call apple about it, now that i know for sure.

thanks your your help!

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:

So yes, you should check it out with Apple...
