Yesterday I ran the Apple Hardware Test (the longer tests) on my new intel iMac. System profiler correctly shows 256mb of video ram.... AHT shows only 128mb.

I'm not concerned, but just curious if this happens on all upgraded vram 20 inchers... can anyone confirm or deny this?

thanks

Where'd you get the Apple Hardware Test cd/dvd/whatever? My 20in Intel iMac didn't come with one.

Yes it did... it is on the Install disk #1... you just have to hold down "D" instead of "C" when booting from the dvd...

I order the 256 VRAM 20" and it says 256 MB in system profiler but in the hardware test it says 128 MB ...I wonder if there is any other way to check the VRAM maybe using an ATI utility.....
