Within a year or two most cards _will_ have half a gig.  And if we're
talking about putting every window in video memory, less than 512MB is
very much likely to require moving pixmaps between video memory and
system memory, or tossing out the pixmaps and requesting a redraw when
necessary.

Or did you just mean you thought that was referring to 1 or 2 gigs?  ;-)
