Friend's looking into HD stuff, so he wants to know how much memory he has.
cmd.exe -> dxdiag tells him 64 MB under "Display". Since this is roughly a quarter of the 254 he needs, how much would it cost to upgrade to a more modern one? (He's running 32 XP from 2004ish)
When I looked it up on my computer, there are two Display Tabs: One for each computer. Both say 4083 MB. Does that mean 8166 total between the two, or wut...? What does "Approx. Total Memory" mean? Total monitor has/can use, or total in the computer or something else completely? I'm thoroughly confused.
It also says "Current Display Mode: 1280 by 1024 (32 bit)". What's different between a 32 and 64 bit monitor? o-o
