The RAM on the video card is utterly immaterial. I could get you a ~7 year old graphics card core that had 256 megs of RAM stuck on it, or I could show you a lowend modern one which would go an order of magnitude faster (or better).

The 8800GT wasn't out until October 29th 2007, and is generally regarded as possibly the best value for money card since the time of the Geforce 4200 Ti/Radeon 9800 Pro.
