The Video Card is a 4mb pci, so it should be 128mb.
The command like I put, that I read somewhere was append"mem=128m"
Im not sure if it would work at all since its an old Pentium 150 that
doesn't seem to be able to handle more then 32mb of SDRAM. Can someone
please correct me if I'm wrong on both these statements.
Regards,
Scott

This is probably because your screen is borrowing 1Mb from the RAM as
video RAM. I had this same problem with a mobo that had onboard video and
you could change the amount in bios that it "borrowed" from the main RAM -
caused me a lot of grief until I twigged it.
