Nope it doesn't matter what kind of ram you have in your graphics card as they are used for different things

What does matter is what type of slots your computer has. Mine, for example, has slots only for PCI cards and I must buy PCI. You can find out what type of slots your computer has by calling TigerDirect. Start with what type of graphics card your computer can use.

Can you install ddr3 ram in place of ddr1?

No, you can't. First check your type, Is it DDR1, DDR2, DDR3 or maybe something else. When you know your type, in your case DDR1, you have to check the speed. DDR1 has 333 or 400, DDR2 has 553,667,800 or 1066, DDR3 has 1066,1333,1600,1800,1866,2000,2133,2200 or 2300 and even higher. In your case 333 or 400 speed. So you can replace your DDR1 depends on your speed for a 512GB, 1GB or 2GB RAM. But you have to check what is max. to place! And you can place DDR3 if you want, but then you have to change motherboard. And in that case better to buy a new computer. Sorry for my english :)
