Reputable vendors will tell you is the card uses shared memory in the product description. These appear not to use "shared" memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...+X1300&Submit=ENE&N=0&Ntk=all&Go.x=17&Go.y=27 As for the x1050, most here appear to use "shared" memory. When you see something like "512 meg, 128 meg on board", that tells all. The extra memory will be "shared" (stolen) from your main memory. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...=X1050&Submit=ENE&N=0&Ntk=all&Go.x=13&Go.y=28 Also note the large price difference between the X1050 and the X1300 cards. You get what you pay for.
