I bought Dell Inspiron 15r -5521 with i7-750GB HDD-8GB Ram.

abutareq@P-Box:~$ sudo lshw -businfo | grep -i display
pci@0000:01:00.0              display        Mars [Radeon HD 8730M]
pci@0000:00:02.0              display        3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller

Steam keeps telling me when I change the display that I have only 250 MB video memory.

I removed windows and installed Ubuntu 13.10 because I want to use windows on Vmware and I read about enabling 3d in VM but my device does not support 3d, that's what Vmware says.

For ways to check compatibility of a given graphics card with Ubuntu see this question: At Present Which is the best choice for a Ubuntu graphics card, AMD or nVidia?.

In your case, there doesn't seem to be any official certification for Radeon HD 8730M (which doesn't necessarily mean that it's not at all supported).

There is at least one report that the latest version of the proprietary AMD Catalyst drivers (version 13.12) support your card. You can download them from AMD Graphics Drivers and Software. See somewhat related discussion: AMD Radeon HD 8670D: Gallium3D vs. Catalyst.
