Integrated video chipsets can do whatever they want.  But it's also true, 
PCI and AGP can *also* borrow system memory if they wanted.

The problem is not the fact that they may use system RAM for video frame 
buffer.  The problem is learning to utilize the chipsets.  This requires 
documentation, and that is something that is hard to come by.
