Will adding video memory on ubuntu running on a virtual machine (VM Box) decrease my video memory.

Will putting 128 mb on video memory in VM Box Ubuntu permanently reduce my video memory by 128mb? Or will it only take effect when the VM machine is on?
Thank you in advance :)

No. A VM doesn't use real graphics memory, graphics RAM is simulated using normal RAM. So it's your hosts normal RAM which will be reduced by 128MB.
