it means the integrated gfx chip can use up to 512mb of your system memory for itself. If you plan to use a video card the onboard is disabled and you can install whetever vid card you want, 512, 1gb, 2gb. If you are planning to get a dedicated vid card, dont get this motherboard, get something without built in gfx.
