Not sure but why do you think it's stealing ram ? I don't have an on board gpu and it says the same ( 4g ram, 1 dedicated, 3 shared ), it's normal i think.

The ram is shared. Its not that you could not use the ram. If you want more ram you could possibly create virtual ram in your hard drive and use it alongwith ram.

It's there to confuse people lol Just disable on-board video in BIOS, and thats it, the information under advanced and Adapter in Windows is like theoretical in case its needed windows can allocate that much, and even "dedicated video memory" part can be totally wrong,

If you need check how much ram your card got, run program called GPUz, video card will only use ram if you set it up in bios to use it,

Ram "stolen" by your igpu will state as not usable, shared is something different. Shared memory is just that: shared between both, both can use it and it's always ~25% of your total ram.
