it does on my 1-year old cheap ASRock motherboard desktop computer
here at home. It  originally had 256mb of ram, and for the integrated
graphic card  I had the option (from the bios menu )of selecting 32,
64 or 128mb of ram to give to the graphic card.   The factory default
for a 256mb setup was for the graphic card to get 64mb.
