That doesn't necessarily mean much per se, as with UMS memory is only
statically mapped into the AGP GART once (so most of those 32M are
wasted at least most of the time), whereas with KMS it's dynamically
(un)mapped on demand.

Okay, so apparently there's at least no obvious problem with 256M on
your UniNorth revision either.
