My concern is that I have 24 GB installed, but most of it is unused. AND I am under the impression [might be right, might wrong; be nicest if it's wrong] that the graphics ram eats away at the cpu address space so I don't know if the system that just won't use more than 9 GB no matter what I do...

The question hasn't changed. The replies have not lead toward the answer/question and this last statement is revealing more motivation as to why I am asking [still] what would be the effect on my cpu-available RAM if I bot a graphics card with a bigger RAM on it. I was hoping for answers like...

The OS says I have 24 GB installed and running 64-bit, which is true. But the calculations it shows [in previous reply] do not use your 16GB max or the 8-9GB my Gadget says are used in its calculations. It starts with 4GB. So I have no idea what it is trying to tell me. So the situation is...

I was taught that graphaics card RAM is ALWAYS assigned true RAM address space, making that much RAM inaccessible. Just today, I read that W7 no matter what will never use more than 4GB RAM. I had not seen that before. Then Bill Gates himself told me this which I had never found before...

I'm not trying to access VRAM. Since VRAM usurps installed RAM address space, the more VRAM, the less left over RAM available for the processor. So since I have unused RAM in the system, would more of that currently unused 16 GB be utilized to back up the additional VRAM so 9 GB 'used' would...

W7-64. 24 GB RAM installed. 1GB on current Graphics card. From desktop Gadget: 9GB used, 6 spare. Would anything be different if I switch to W10? I have 12 GB Ramdisk which is rarely unused, so I would eliminate or reduce it to keep it from impacting usable RAM to OS.
