@drkohler: I also noticed the different shapes, but my optimistic side prefers to think that all the 4 chips are of the same kind of RAM, otherwise the 1GB for games and 1GB for the system won't change during its lifetime. |
I think you misunderstand that. "Reserving memory for OS purposes" does of course not equate to having physically different ram chips. This is purely a software solution. Having 1G DDR and 1G GDDR ram does not seem to be unusual, either. You'd want much more ram speed for the GPU (particularly if you start with the multi-display idea right from the start). A good memory controller can live with slower DDR ram for general code any day.
