Actually, ANY gfx card should be able to leave the chip RAM alone. As a gfx
card needs its own memory on board (mostly 4 MB for older models, the newer
ones have 16MB or 32 MB), there's no need to use chip RAM, as the "chip"
(which is the AGA chipset) isn't used anymore. Now it depends on your gfx
board driver (CyberGraphX or Picasso96), but no driver will use chip mem if
you don't tell it to.
