Hi Dan,

I've run Compiz on 64MB cards. I suspect you could go lower as long as
the memory was at least several times the size of the framebuffer.

Chipset support is really the issue -- almost any contemporary video
card with at least tens of megabytes of RAM should be able to support
Compiz (or kwin's effects) *if* the driver for the card's chipset
supports the COMPOSITE extension.
