What does it mean when the graphics card says it is a 256MB GDDR3 VRAM, TurboCache up to 512MB...?

Thanks

If I remember correctly, Turbocache allocates a portion of your system memory to your videocard. Basically, you're magically getting more video memory at the loss of system memory.

If that's the case, with a 2GB memory would it be using up a lot if it? or would it still run fine?

If you have it set to 256mb then it will use 1/4 a gig or 1/8 of your ram
