If you have a 2gb vram card it would eat up about 2 gigs of ram from your computer under shared resources if you have 32 bit. 32 bit windows can only address up to 4 gigs total in memory whether its your ram at 4 gb or your video card at 2 gig. You essentially would cut your theoretical usable ram in half with a 2gb card running 32 bit if that helps at all.
