I have one unbranded desktop with two graphic cards (one onboard, and one in agp slot). Currently only one is used with desktop, but another still has 128M its own graphics memory. I have found a wiki link http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Using...Memory_as_Swap with a description on how to use these 128M as a swap device.
