I disagree, there is lots of articles about this including in MS
Knowledge base. I have actually experienced the drop after installing
a video card. In Control Panel\System\General Tab I started out with
so much ram and then installed a video card with twice as much RAM
and when I checked again my system ram had dropped an appropriate amount.

If you are running 32 bit OS, then a one GB card will take another
512megs of addressable memory.
this means if you are currently showing 3GB of RAM with a 512meg
video card, and you install a 1GB video card then you will reduce
your system memory by 512megs.
