Default Laptop Help

I have a problem with my fresh new Laptop

Model , Video Card - Acer Aspire 5742G GeForce GT 540M
The problem is , that it got 2 video cards , intigrated and GT 540M the problem is , that i need to shut down intigrated one.
The other problem is RAM... my laptop is using only half of it
EDIT: So i got that im using BOTH videocards now >.> ffs .
So now i have to shut down Intigrated one so i can get my 4gb ram!

Will add pic later if needed
Ty

EDIT 2 : EDIT : Picture
As you can see i got only 2gb ram , but it had to be 4gb
And you can't see , but my videocard's memory is 1.9gb , becouse i got 2 videocards working right now , but i need only one.

Didn't it shut down the intel one when you use a GPU-intensive program?

You're running 32bits windows. You're limited to 3.5GB of RAM if you're lucky. Mostly, you'll get anything between 2.7 to 3.25gb of RAM.

Srtest.com uses DXDiag info to diagnose your computer. DXDiag shows paging memory along with the real memory.
The GT540M should not leech your RAM.

You should be able to disable the integrated one, but I do not have experience with dual GPU laptops.
Perhaps in the BIOS, perhaps in the power management or screen options in windows.

I also looked on the Acer website to get more information, but with 36 hits alone, I don't think I'm going to find more on it.
