Well, I know what type of GFX Card it is and who makes it, but I've got no way of knowing how much memory is on board unless I install it, which is a whole lot of bother I don't want to go through.
I've had a look on the manufacturers site but with no luck... so now I'm stuck... help! :D
is it too much bother to whack it into a pc, turn it on, see what it says before the post screen, and then turn it off before it gets as far as loading windows :), maybe share what you already know about the card and other people might be able to help :D

Check the website of the card manufacturer

Oops, yeah thatd help:D
Its a Matrox G400, but not a dual head model... and er... that's all I know.
Dont want to go dismantling my main rig.... way too much to disconnect and spaghetti to untangle! ;)
any codes on the chip, or stickers anywhere that might hint at how much ram its got?

picture i guess that if it looks like that ithas 16mb of ram, if it hasnt got empty bits then 32.. but the memory might be on the other side...
Thats my puppy... but all the chip slots are filled, so its a 32 meg one then?
dunno tbh :) i'm just going by the pictures on google.. then i saw some more which only have 4 chips and are 16mb (ie no spare 'holes' for the ram)... dont you have any other pcs you can just quickly pop open and be 100% whether this card is 16/32mb :)

get the codes from the ram chips, it might be obvios just from reading them more likely though you will have to look them up on google/manuf site.
