If you did you would have found the following paragraph VideoRAM size The SiS chips can only directly address 4096K bytes of video RAM. Some video cards using these chips are shipped with additional video RAM. The videoRAM must be explicitly limited to 4096 for those cards. Attempting to use the additional RAM leads to a variety of scrambled screen artifacts.
