A clarification here: Video cards don't use *any* system ram. But if
he has video support on the motherboard (which is what I think you
meant), it *will* use system RAM, and as you say, will make some of
the RAM unavailable.

But using as much as 1GB for on-motherboard video support would be
very unusual. I've never seen that much used.
