Memory showed via lscia is different than hardware specs (NVIDIA)

When using lspcia -v to view info on my graphics card, it show 256MB when the card itself is 512 MB? Why would this be, is this really an issue, and how could i fix it?

Mhmm. Looks like my forum search skills work just as well as nvidia's drivers.
