Dennis, is this onboard video or a video card.
If it is onboard you should be able to tell by how much ram your computer tells you it has available to you through your system properties. Go to start. then go to settings. click on control panel.
In the window that opens up- look for system. click that icon and the next thing you;'ll see will tell you a: what windows you are running b: how much ram you have available. subtract that from the amount of ram you are suppose to have in your computer and that is how much Video Ram you have.

I.E.: My system has 196 MB of Ram installed.
3 chips of 64 mb ram
I just did that to make sure I was telling you the accurate instructions. Mind you i am running Win 98SE so yours may operate differantly to find the control panel. You can access the control panel through my computer as well.
My system properties says I have 184 mbs of ram while when I boot the number says 196 mb of ram I subtract 184 from 196 to get the amount of ram my onboard video takes up which is 8 MB.

Admin or MTUSupoort can correct me if I got it wrong but I'm pretty sure I'm right.
