Just under 2Mb. Which is half of the memory on the card (or more
than half if you have the multimedia memory flag enabled).

In theory the graphics memory can be used to store window contents &
images (I think if the image bitmap is a 'friend' of the screen
bitmap). How much this happens I don't know.
Something I've always wondered. Do web browsers build up an image of
the entire webpage or do they just generate 1 screens worth. Anyone
know?
