    If you don't have it already get 3DMark05. I believe that will allow you to see it. However I believe the x1600 has 128 dedicated but I am not sure.

    There are X1600 versions with 128 and 256 mb dedicated .
    But they both share to 512 MB.

    You can use atitool to tell you all that. Available here:-

    http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/

    The version you want is 0.25 Beta 14 as newer versions don't recognise the clocks correctly on the X1600.

    Once installed and running click on 'Settings', this is my report:-

    Device ID - 71C5
    Chip name - 71C5
    Host Interface - PCI-E
    Catalyst Version - 6.12
    Memory Size - 256mb
    Memory Type - DDR2
    Memory Bus Width - 128 Bit
    Active Pipelines - 4
    Default GPU Clock - 450Mhz
    Default Mem Clock - 391Mhz
    GB_PIPE_SELECT - 0x1E4

    Best of luck :)
