When I want to use the integrated graphics card on the cpu, do I still need to check the 'VGA Max Share Memory' when buying a motherboard? The higher the Shared Memory the better? Or is this shared memory only for the integrated graphics card on the motherboard?

And I know, shared memory max is ~1.7gb for all windows 7. But, I wanna know, if only the integrated graphics card of the motherboard is working with the vga shared memory as seen in the specifications of the motherboard, or also the integrated graphics card of the CPU.

Wow, that's strange man. MSI has more errors in the specifications. I bought the H81M ECO, because of the PCie Gen 3 etc etc. But it's not, although it's even on the box! ;-) But the new one I hope it is. I use it manely for internet, but I want to play same games too. So maybe some day I will buy a graphics card. But I'm on a tight budget man.

Shared memory max is ~1.7gb for all windows 7, ok. but I wanna know if only the integrated graphics card of the motherboard is working with the vga shared memory as seen in the specifications of the motherboard, or also the integrated graphics card of the CPU.

Sorry, I'm a noob: So the vga shared memory that you see in the specifications of motherboards, has not a thing to do with the graphics chip of the cpu, because the i3 is blocking the use of it? I has no bennefit to buy a motherboard with vga shared mem of 1760 mb over one with 1014 mb?

The shared memory is referring to the one on the cpu because there is no other. A higher max is not going to help because it's so weak you won't even be using that much. But I'm pretty sure it's 1.7gb, it's just an error on the site. I never saw any modern mobo that didn't have that max.
