ehm no, that's not quite correct...it's using a maximum of 128 Mb of
system memory as graphics memory as said before, AND 8 Mb of stolen
memory (I think..., used as framebuffer?, to do all vga/vesa modes?)
To be honest I read about the intel graphics and how they work...but can
quite remember it (brain probably did not use enough stolen memory)
