The file size on disk is under 2 meg for all my textures (these are in the compressed formats of png and jpg) I did not use 32 bit color, and I assume the system keeps the textures uncompressed. How can I figure out how much vid memory is used? Is there a utility that can access the system and give me some numbers?
