931 GB HDD
Intel Core I5-3230M 2.60 GHz
Windows 7 Professional 64x bit
Intel HD Graphics 4000
Nivida Geforce GT 740M

I don't quite understand your question. Look under display adapter in device manager and it should be listed in there. If not check bios for enabling it instead of onboard graphics.

It should add up the nivida GPU VRAM . And Show it , but it doesnt

That's because your onboard GPU is being used when you're checking it. Look at device manager, if it's in there under display adapters and doesn't have a red X or exclamation point then it's working.

Ok so i still get the extra GB of VRAM ? (to use)

Yeah it's built right into the GPU. My laptop has the same GPU in it.
