Yeh, I wish ATI use their dedicated GPU memory as it should be. But you can fix it by disabling your system memory cache.

Right-click My Computer and select Properties.
Select the Advanced tab.
Select the Performance Settings button.
Select the Advanced tab.
Make sure that the Memory Usage section has the option button enabled on Programs and NOT the System cache.
