I need to run a report that will give the total number of PC's grouped by Graphics card memory size.

Any suggestions?

As far as I know, this information is not collected and what I've read, its a bit tricky. Many adapters are integrated and use the on board memory. (most Intel based VGA)

There are some ways to determine the values usin WMI, but as I wrote, the information is not collected.

What is the purpose of the grouping you require?

I work at schools and they are always getting new programs and software. I need to be able to look at a report that shows the different amounts of graphics memory the schools computers have and how many computers per amount of memory.

Example:

128MB - 143 computers

64GB - 54 computers

This way I know what programs the school is capable of running as well as the ability to push out the software only to computers capable of running it.

You could try running a script to determine the amount of RAM, but as SelfMan said, there are some difficulties with that. See this thread for more information (and caveats):
