usage varies depending on the amount of system memory installed
and system load. 8 MB is pre-allocated for graphics use at system
boot time. Additional memory is allocated for graphics as needed
using Intel's Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT), to provide
an optimal balance between graphics and system memory use.
System memory equal or greater than 512 MB
8 MB pre-allocated + 248 MB DVMT = max frame buffer of 256 MB
