How much video memory do you have?

Hi Everyone,
I'm just about to add to Sapphire a threshold to limit its usage of video memory on large texture maps (automatic level-of-detail, etc). There doesn't appear to be a neat way to reliably detect the amount of video memory available, so I'm going to hard-code a default value, which users will be able to edit using the 'Extensions->Sapphire->Edit settings' menu option if they so desire. Anyway, getting to the point, how much video RAM does your system have? I'm thinking of optimising for 256MB cards by default, but if there are lots of users with 128Mb cards I might consider lowering the default accordingly.
Cheers,
Aaron.
