Im kinda new to laptops and was wondering, how do their video cards work.
If, for example my laptop has 512 mb x1600 video card, where does it take the mem from, is it dedicated for it? And if it is, does it stick to it when dealing with textures or does it intervein with system memory, aswell (I mean, does it act any differently than a pc video card...)
Actually we argued about it with a friend and i think a card like x1600 acts pretty much like normal pc video card, and based on his arguments, it acts like an integrated(on-board video)
Help plz
