You're too lazy to figure it out for yourself by your own admission.

I don't think you'll find many here that will be interested in helping.

thanks for nothing. ill just install it since apparently all the ati rage xl cards online have 8 mb of memory but this one doesnt have that many memory chips on it. i just wanted to know if there was a way to tell without plugging it into the motherboard and looking at it that way. just looking for a simple way to tell.

They might not be 1MB memory modules, there could be four 2MB ones, two 4MB ones or any other combination. According to the Wikipedia entry for the Rage XL it was a very low-end card so I doubt if any of them had more than the standard 8MB.

If there are product numbers on the card Google them and see what turns up.
