You are working as a technician at Domain.com. You have just received a shipment of new computers that has a total 256MB of RAM and 16MB of video shared memory. One of your colleagues asks what quantities of RAM that is available to the operating system. What will you answer him?

A.
248MB

B.
256MB

C.
272MB

D.
240MB

Explanation:
When the video card is in use (all the time!), especially in higher display modes, it will take some of the memory normally dedicated to other computing activities and use it for its own tasks.
