Your card has no Video Memory of it's own. It allocates some of the
physical RAM on your computer to use as Video RAM. This varies according to
the make and model of computer, but is either 16 or 32 MB. It is very old
technology.

There used to be a very useful utility to check all the details of the
hardware and software inside your computer. I believe it's called
aida32
I found a link to it here:
http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Reviews/r847.html

It should surely tell you howmuch video ram (if any) you have on that
board.

As the onboard gfx is not enough for any newer games and such and older
games rarely need even 32MB, that's what I'd go for, but with 1G of RAM,
64MB might be an idea....
