is there a reason why my laptop has a 512mb stick and a 256mb stick but only reads it as having 640mb of memory? Is that how laptops read and utilize the memory?

is it because my onboard video card has shared memory? I think thats the reason, but im just makin sure.

You just answered your own question, if you have onboard memory, you will infact have less ram available to use for other processes.
