Hello. I'm in the market to get a new laptop, and I specifically wanted a 32-bit OS. I am steadfast in this, and if it makes me old-fashioned/old-timer, so be it. So, here it goes: I had a 1GB video card in my now defunct laptop that took the available memory down to 3GB from 4GB. I'm considering a laptop that has a 1.5GB graphics card. My question is, would that 1.5GB graphics card limit my available memory to 2.5GB? If so, is there a setting I can edit in Windows 7 to allow it to make use of the extra memory? Does Windows 7 run worse with 512MB less of memory (3GB to 2.5GB)?
