Well, I think this videocard uses whatever amount of memory is needed for the
display with the actual amount of video memory as the upper limit (the higher
the resolution the more video memory is needed, the more colors are used the
more video memory is needed), the rest of the video memory can be used to
store things like textures etc. My video card has 8 MB video memory, I could
expand that to 16 MB if I needed to. But 8 MB is sufficient for 1280 x 1024
with 32-bits color-depth.
