Its 2mb,which is so small it doesnt really matter for one, for another you need the video memory,you need to have the video memory shared unless you have a dedicated video card then ;)

any game that can run on 512mb's of ram will also work on 510mb of ram. if i look at my 2048mb of ram, my computer tells me that i actually only have 2046mb. it makes absolutely no difference.

What game is this and what specific error is it giving you?




The 2MB of memory you are missing is due to the integrated graphics processor (IGP) on your system as has already been mentioned.

secondlife and its saying my video card is out of date or did not install properly and i was just playing the game yesterday n now i was thinkin it was my memory cuz last time i checked it it said 512mb ram n 146 gb just went bye byes n now its saying that
 
Well...yeah, you don't have a very powerful video card if you are using an Intel IGP. You could try updating the drivers.

You keep throwing around GB and MB... What is the 146GB that is missing? Room on your hard drive?
