Wrong memory detected on GeForce 7900GT

I have a GeForce 7900GT with 256Mb, Vista RC1 detects my Videocard as having
520Mb, of which it says 248Mb are Dedicated Video Memory and the rest
(271Mb) are System Shared Memory. Can this Shared Memory be disabled so the
Videocard only reports the onboard real memory?

No wrong memory being detected. Vista allocates the system shared memory in
case it's needed. Your full system mem is still available otherwise. I know
of no way to disable it.
