Trying to determine real-time RAM size of video adaptor

I have an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 IGP video chip for my Dell Vostro
1000. Through the Windows XP display properties I can determine the
max size available to the video adaptor which is 288MB (with 64MB of
shared system memory). I would like to be able to determine what the
real-time size of the RAM used by the video adaptor. I use the PC for
office software mostly so I'm sure I'm not using anywhere near the
288MB of memory. Which means I could reduce the size of the video
frame buffer even more from 64MB.
