Nvidia Geforce GT525m dedicated memory

hey, on a sibling’s laptop, theres this graphics card Nvidia Geforce GT525m… thats supposed to be a 1gb graphics card, but when i saw its system properties.. it appeared as :
Graphics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Display adapter type Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
Total available graphics memory 1696 MB

Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 1632 MB
Display adapter driver version 8.17.12.6683
Primary monitor resolution 1366x768

now why does the Intel driver show up only? what about the nvidia graphics card? where is that? the laptop is Dell Inspiron n5110 Core i3 Windows 7(x64) obviously not the original one, but a pirated copy…
Answer #1
