Question Have 8.0 GB RAM on laptop, says 1.0 GB are hardware reserved.

[PackOfSalt]

I have an integrated GPU.
Is it normal for it to say 1.0 GB RAM are hardware reserved (in Task Manager)?

Yes. That memory is reserved for use by the integrated GPU. Totally normal.

Yes. That memory is reserved for use by the integrated GPU. Totally normal.

Is it weird for it to suddenly reserve that 1.0 GB of RAM though?
Had this laptop for about a month now and noticed it today.

It would have always had 1.0gb of ram reserved otherwise you wouldn't have any picture on screen as there would be no VRAM for the GPU
