AMD M82XT Switchable Graphics 256MB???

[zod96]

I want to get a laptop via the Lenovo Outlet. They have some pretty good deals. But I want a discrete graphics card. The site list the AMD M82XT Switchable Graphics 256MB as the video card. I can't find any info on this card. Is it shared memory or dedicated memory? I've never heard of it before....

Thanks

Most laptops are shared memory. Gnerally only the gaming laptops have there own video ram. Chnaces are that "card" isn't a card at all but built opnto the main board fo the laptop.

If I remember correctly; M82 is RV620, which means that M82XT would be Mobility Radeon 3470.

Most of them will have discrete GDDR3 or DDR2 discrete memory (not shared with system mem).
