I'd really like to understand more about this in case it has any affect on
performance.

From the Help Screen in the CMC (we run MFXP) it gives the following
formula:

(color depth in bits per pixel / 8) * vertical resolution in pixels *
horizontal resolution in pixels = memory required in bytes.

Our users generally use, at the high end, 16bit color depth @ 1024x768
resolution.  So that would be (2) * 768 * 1024 = 1,572,864 bytes required
for graphics.  The default looks to be 5625 for this setting, which is much
larger than we appear to need.

Why would you (I) need to increase that?  Would it give me better video
performance or just allow for huge graphics reolutions or multiple
monitors?  Would reducing this number give more memory back to the OS?
