If you are running a at color depth of anything greater than 16bits, then you have greater than 2MB.

1024 * 768 = 786432 pixels

786432pixels * 2bytes/pixel = 1572864bytes = 1.5Mbytes

Thus you would need at least 2 megabytes just to display the screen buffer.

similarly you would need 3.1 Mb for 32 bit color.

I think those are 4 and 8 Mb cards, but often laptops share the main memory for the video buffer... so it's hard to say.
