I don't know where you get those specs, 2GB of graphic memory is unheard of in a 4 series card, but a 4650 typically has 512 GDDR2 memory with a core clock of 600mhz. These really don't mean that much but just know that your card is a entry level card. You still can play current games and future games for a long time, but when you start playing graphics intense games you might have to lower screen resolutions, lower texture levels, lower lights effects etc...

Well sir, thats how it is:
1. You have a VGA/Graphic Card with 1GB memory (it's in the VGA itself, it's called dedicated)
2. The system (OS Win 7) took about 1,7GB of your computer memory (u have 4GB) as shared video memory (just in case the system need it)
3. Last but not least, you could always ask Mr.Google to find out how strong is this ATI 4650 compared to other cards. Such as this http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ti_4650&xtcr=2
