System Profiler should identify it - the fine print will show 4mb or 8mb. Mine was an IMSTT8mb. I thought it was adequate for video capture but the most I could get was 22 frames/sec. at 320 x 240 and some lip sync problems towards the end of the file. I am waiting to see if the ATI Radeon 7000 can do better (Aurora Igniter is out of my league). See if you can lay your hands on the old MiroMotion DC20 PCI capture card.
