Looks as if there actually is 1GB in there, looking at line 396 (entry
starting at line 391).  Since the graphics card has "HD" in the name,
and 256VRAM is low end by today's standards, I wouldn't be surprised if
it is, indeed, reserved for video.  I can't find anything telling in the
"physical memory array" section, though.
