A customer has been given a graphics card for his W98SE system and wants me to install it for him.  My problem is that I don't know that he'll be any better off if I do this.

His system has a late model Gigabyte mobo with a VIA KM400 chipset and 32Mb of onboard graphics.  It also has an AGP slot for an added card which supports 8x\4x\2x (1.5v).

The guy who gave him the card says that his own W98 system recognised it as a '3DFX Voodoo Banshee' but couldn't tell him anything else about it.  So I don't know if it's even a 2x AGP.

Can anyone tell me how to find out how much ram this card carries?  It has no brand name but I notice it has 8 identical chips on it.  They're all marked; NEC JAPAN  D4811650GF-A10-9BT  9849K9017.
