Unlike an offboard video card, my onboard NVidia (and Ray's) shares
(sucks) DDR memory with (from) the system. It can use up to 256 Mb.
Frame buffer, that is the memory reserved for video in BIOS begins at
32 and goes up to 512 Mb. Available RAM memory is reduced accordingly.
So we do not have a fixed size video memory.
