Richard,
I don't think the additional video memory will help at all.
If you were running 3D, it probably would be of some value, but most
people are doing 2D.
A simple way to see how much video memory you actually need is to
use the following formula:
Required_mem = ( height_pixels * width_pixels )
* bytes_of_color_depth
So, if you are running 1024x768 at 16-bit color, that would be:
( 1024 * 768 ) * 2 = 1,572,864
As you can see, with that resolution/depth, you would only be using
about 1.5mb of video ram. Any more doesn't help.
