You can calculate the required video memory by the following formula

color depths x resolution / (1024 x 1024) = minimum required video memory in MB

for example on my machine

32 x 1024 x 768 / (1024 / 1024) = 24

If your card has less than the result of the appropriate formula for your machine some OS use normal RAM but this will bring your game to a quite grinding halt ...

Naturally another question is what Bioware *thinks* the minimum configuration has to be.
