Hnestly, (and i know people are going to yell at me, but) after a certian point, RAM gets useless. 256MB is plenty, and 512MB is excess. At this point in computer technoligy, most PC's don't need more than 512MB. Basically, it's like fuel in a car; you need a certian amount to keep the car running. You buy a full tank, not just enough to drive, and the only time you really use the extra fuel is when you use that initial fuel the car needs.
The only difference is is that today's PC's don't really use that extra RAM, but for future upgrades, it's always good to have.

I would recommend either a GF4 Ti4600, or a RADEON 9700.
