Abriael a question for you, I'm semi good with PC"s but have a quick question since you seem to have a lot of knowledge, I'm changing my video card gtx 480 OC to a 680GTX. My mother board appears to have some built in vram I think, that is what I was told two years ago when I had it built, currently when I go to dxdiag under display tab, it says gtx 480 total memory 4048. I know the gtx480 has 1500 memory, so for it to say 4048 might mean that the mother board does in deed have memory support towards video?

I guess my question is, if I upgrade to the GTX 680 would I need to change any options in bios to use this extra memory? or just un-install drivers, power down swap cards and install new drivers and I'm good to go?
