You probably changed AGP aperture size. I expect there is an algorithm
in the nvidia driver which calculates the 'correct' amount of VideoRam
to steal from shared memory when attaching to a shared memory graphics
card like the 6150. It is probably max(256MB, 2 * agp_aperture_size). I
could be dead wrong..

The intel driver manages shared memory in a similar way.
