System RAM and Video RAM are two separate technologies, and do not directly depend on each other. It is possible to run a video card with GDDR6 on a system with only DDR1 RAM installed, and just as possible to run a video card with GDDR1 on a system with DDR3 RAM installed. Having a high speed GDDR video card will improve rendering performance, while having high speed RAM will improve loading times.

How do you use ram as video memory i have 4gb and 32 bit vista and my nvidia control panel says i can have up to 1.2gb of video memory how do i utilise or dedicate that?

Video RAM is separate from the RAM in your motherboard. The graphics card is like a computer of its own. The graphics ram stores graphic elements and the processor is the speed that it can store it. If you are a gamer then the processor speed is more important because you want higher fps. If you are a graphic designer then you want more RAM because you will be able to store more detailed images. The RAM is also different. Most PC RAM is DDR3 and graphics cards are GDDR5.

What is ram with a graphics card called?

Depending on the way you wanted this to be answered, GDDR3, and GDDR5 are both common types of graphics RAM. Or if your question was supposed to be asked a different way, most cards have dedicated video ram. This is helpful in gaming situations as most of the latest games require at least 1gig of dedicated vram in order to properly run at the highest settings. Remember not all cards are of the same architecture. If you see a $20 card with 1gig of video ram it's probably not the same as the $400 card with 1gig of video ram.
