I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this.

I recently picked up an ASUS 8600gt 256mb, the fanless version (EN8600GT SILENT). After installation I noticed in the nvidia utility it displays 512MB. I checked the labels on the box as well as the card, both list the card as the 256MB version.

Does anyone know of a utility that can probe the card to find out the correct amount of video ram?

Here is the card information present in the nvidia utility:
