How can I verify the ram on my video card?

[Cnuke]

I bought a new laptop from a vendor and I requested a 32MB card. It is a cyberblade-XP v5.8111.22. I want to verify that it has 32MB card and not a 16 like the website says it has.

Anyone have a utility that will clock my video ram

Any help will be appreciated.

Look at the adapter properties under Display Settings, it should say somewhere in there.

Only thing listed in properties is Trident video cyberblade-xp v5.8111.22

No other settings in display prop. Even the tabs do not help

I have directX 8.0 Is there a tool in there? I did not know that. I did look, but could not find it. Can you guide me to it?

Thanks

I'm using win98.
start/run & type dxdiag & look under display!

I guess these experiences seperate the professionals for the rest.

As always it is good to have little tricks such as these in your back pocket and I must say that is were it is going for me.

I did not know directX had this. It worked great.

Thanks again for the help.

The vendor did stiff me with the 16MB card by the way. I will be sure to contact him right after I hit the reply button here!!
