Switch your monitor to high resolution (using the control strip, assuming you 
have the right adapter for on-the-fly switching) and see how many colors you 
end up getting. On a 17" monitor, if you switch to 1024x768, you should be 
able to get millions of colors with 4MB Vram, and only thousands with 2MB 
Vram.  I did that and discovered that my extra 2MB Vram wasn't "seated" 
properly.

Hope that works for you.
