    You probably have an integrated video card. The integrated video card "borrows" RAM from your system when it needs it, for example if you are playing a game. However, even 512mb of RAM is not very much and I would recommend getting more. I always buy my RAM from www.newegg.com.

    You must have on-board video (yes you need more RAM)
