Got a new laptop yesterday.
It's AMD. When I go to AMD Catalyst Control Center, it says this under information(Software)

Graphics Card Manufacturer Powered by AMD
Graphics Chipset AMD Radeon HD 8650G
Device ID 990B
Vendor ID 1002
Subsystem ID 1984
Subsystem Vendor ID 103C
Graphics Bus Capability PCI
Maximum Bus Setting PCI
BIOS Version 015.031.000.000
BIOS Part Number BR44400.bin
BIOS Date 2013/02/19
Memory Size 768 MB
Memory Type DDR3
Core Clock in MHz 720 MHz
Memory Clock in MHz 800 MHz
Total Memory Bandwidth in GByte/s 12.8 GByte/s

--------------------------------------------------------------------

It says "Memory Size: 768 MB". When I bought the laptop, it said it has dedicated AMD HD 8650G with 4205 MB.:
I did dxdiag and over there under Display, it says Approx. Total Memory: 4205 MB.

I am confused. Is it crossfire? If no, please explain what this is and how can I run the dedicated one instead of the integrated one

Thanks in advance

HP Anodized Silver 17.3" Pavilion 17-e119wm Laptop PC with AMD A10-5750M Quad Core Processor, 8 GB memory, 1 TB Hard Drive and Windows 8.1

That's the exact name, and exactly stated like that on Walmart website too.

Well AMD APU's share memory with your system so I'm going to assume you have at least 4GB or more ram in your system so that's what you're reading is correct from that point of view. I'm not entirely sure where the 768MB of memory is coming from though.
