Default Notebook Graphics


Hey, my name is Brendan and i have an HP notebook (Pavilion dv2500CTO).

Heres my graphics information:
Geforece 8400M GS(Chip Type)
Integrated RAMDAC(DAC Type)
816MB(Approx. Total Memory)

The laptop came with 2GB of ram and i upgraded it to 4 GB and was
wondering why i have not seen an increase in my Approx. Total Memory.

I dont know a whole lot about graphics cards but i thought that
Integrated RAMDAC meant that the graphics came from the computer's RAM.

Any help at all would be appreciated
