How come it can only use 1.7 Gig's?
Do you have an integrated graphics card? It's most likely using your RAM as shared memory.
I've got a macbook pro, it has a nVidia 9400M and a nVidia 9600M.
They're 'sharing' the RAM.
A 9400M AND a 9600M? May I ask why it has both?

You don't. He didn't read. You can't do that on a mac.
