Shared ram, possibly? I know some cards do it and they give it a strange name, but can't think of it.

I would trust the Windows spec listed in system properties over a website detecting it. Clearly it is detecting it wrong. If you did have a 1GB card windows would detect it in system information also.

The website is basically taking a guess at what your system runs...
