Thanks. I do have a on-board video card and I always calculate them using 1k=1024byte. 
1. The same on-board video card will use the same shared memory in Redhat7.0 and 7.3, 
right?
2. How can I see the video shared memory size?
3. I want to find a way to get all physical memory size (320M).

less than 320M. In Redhat 7.0, it's 313.812Mbyte, in Redhat 7.3, it's 311.43Mbyte. 

Please wrap your lines to <80 characters.

Do you have on-board video?  If so, the shared memory used by the
graphics card will be deducted from the total.  

You also need to factor in the difference as to how different pieces
calculate a megabyte.  Is it 1000 kilobytes or 1024 kilobytes?
Similarly, is a kilobyte a 1000 bytes or 1024 bytes?  Although there are
now formal standards on how these should be specified, few vendors
actually use those standards.
