The RAM on your videocard is not used for other processes. In other words, having more RAM on your videocard won't make your PC faster, it'll just increase performance in some situations on some games if you have the right videocard with the right configuration.
To simplify things, videocard memory is a terrible way to test the performance of the videocard. Other factors determine performance: pipelines, memory and clock speed, etc. A 64 MB GeForce 4 TI4200 will outperform a 256 MB GeForce FX 5200 any day of the week, sometimes even being 3 times as powerful as the FX 5200. Like I said before, the onboard RAM on a videocard means nothing.
What DOES matter concerning RAM is how much your PC has. I suggest 512 MB of RAM or more for a gaming PC.
