How important is the amount of memory in the video card compared to the speed? Right now I have a 256MB Sapphire Radeon 9600 Atlantis video card, but someone on another forum said I should upgrade to this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130214
It's a lot faster but has less memory, would it be better?
Why does tigerdirect say everything has twice as much FSB as newegg?

Would getting 2GB of cheap-ish RAM be better than just having 1GB of good quality RAM in dual channel?
I wanted to get two sets of this RAM:

Would I be better off getting this?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Edit: Also, on newegg items either say "OEM" or retail next to them. I know OEM means original equipment manufacturer, but what is the difference between that and the normal retail products?
