This system uses an Intel i845 chipset of some variation or another.
Intel's i8xx series graphics chips dynamically adjust the amount of
memory they use from 8MB up to 64MB. Typically there is no setting
anywhere than you can use to adjust this and really there is no need.
The only requirement is that it will ALWAYS take the base 8MB,
completely hiding that from the OS.
