Intel integrated graphics use "DVMT" ("Dynamic Video Memory Technology"). Read about it here: http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/cs-010488.htm

The quick answer is that it will use as much or as little video memory as it needs automatically. Go to the Intel control panel applet to see a similar screen as my older chipset stats:

Edit: I missed the Vista part. Go into the video properties and there should be some option to view the Intel driver settings. There may be a report like the one above in there. If you're running Aero (not Aero Basic) and have over a 1280x1024 or 1440x900 resolution, it will probably be using 128MB of main memory.
 
yes i just found that its good thanks
mine says 256 max and using 66 right now although on the laptop it says 128 so thats kinda weird id rather be able to change it but i guess thats fine appreciate the info man
