Best Answer

ram, its own ram

processing rate is super important

practically buy anything with big numbers

* erm not really.

Clock, bandwidth size and memory speed are more important then ram size.

Here is an example:

2GB GTX 285 would be completely out performed by a 1gb GTX 460, and totally destroyed by a 1.5gb GTX 480

Maybe you think that is a bad example, fine. A 512mb 8800gt would outperform a 1gb 9400gt. So DO NOT just buy "anything with big numbers".

Basically, look at ram last, and almost everything else first for gaming. Now for decoding, watching blu-ray and heavy graphics editing (and gaming on a resolution higher then 1080p), THEN ram size becomes a larger issue.
