Why are video cards sold with different memory on them?
Some computer games and graphics applications are heavy users of graphical memory. Examples include Bioshock, Half-life 2, Adobe Photoshop, and 3DSMAX. Those kinds of applications run better with a computer that has a great deal of memory and processing speed. Note however, that the speed of the central processing unit (CPU) and the amount of system memory of a computer does not specifically affect the amount of graphical power available to a computer. Most graphically intensive programs require the video/graphics card itself to have a fair amount of processing power and memory. For the general user, it is a waste of money to purchase a high-end graphics card.
