Another gig of ram wouldn't give you much performance increase in FPS with that video card. Get the video card, but preferably both. I'd recommend going with the ATI X1900GT. They should be fairly cheap ~ $100 but it's a great card for the price. If you're dropping lower than $75 an upgrade in a video card really isn't worth it IMO.

$100 for that card is an incredible value. How do I know this? It's what I have, and I can still play games like Bioshock and Medal of Honor Airborne on max settings. I still recommend getting another gig of ram with this, but a card like this one gives ridiculous performance for the price.
