Hi everyone there is problem i am having please help me to sort it out.
I have heard that Graphics cards of PCIe slot does not have any memory of their own, they only share memory from your Physical RAM. Is it true.........

I have an Asus 6200 TC 256 MB PCIe card and its actual onboard memory is only 64 MB and when more memory is required it is said to share upto 192 MB of system ram so that the total comes to 256.
