| Another thing I just noticed about this video card. On the box, in very very
| small print are the 'minimum requirements', which I normally don't pay much
| attention to because it usually just talks about how I need Windows ;)
| Anyhow, this one actually says I need at _least_ 2 GB of system memory. 2
| GB!!?? Wow, I only have 1 GB, so I need to upgrade I guess...

That cannot be a real requirement.

Some (cheapish) cards need some main memory to use as a video frame
buffer or texture buffer or whatever.  Sometimes called "shared" I
think.  I think that my Acer Revos require 256M of RAM to be dedicated
for optimal performance.

You haven't definitely said what card you are dealing with.
Is it the GeForce GT 520?  I think that that has dedicated (on-board) RAM 
and doesn't need any shared memory.
