before the BIOS screen it is shown as 128MB. Earlier with the drivers i got with my card, it showed the RAM as 256 MB. However when i installed the 91.47 forceware drivers, in dxdiag the amt of video memeory shown is 512MB. How do i check the actual physical memory? (dedicated VRAM,not shared)

There are plenty of system hardware diagnostic tools around but that may give you just more confusing answers

What may be happening is that not all the software / firmware you are describing can see all the memory - the amount of memory is meaningless if the software cannot access it

The one show on the BIOS is the physical memory. so it is the most accurate. With nVidia TurboCache technology, it could possibly run at 256MB
