ddr2 video card on motherboard ddr memory

does anyone know if this will work? ie.. i have 512MBDDR memory on my pc / motherboard if i get a video card that has specs of 512DDR2 memory will it still work? thanks!

Since I don't think anyone else will be gracious enough to respond to such a simple question, I guess I will. Using the video card will not be a problem, the memory used on a graphics card has no effect on the memory used on the motherboard. Although it is sad that your video card will now have the same amount of memory that your motherboard does.

Honestly, though, 512MB on your video card is likely overkill. I'd suggest getting a faster 256MB card for the same money.

If by graphics and video, you mean photography and video editing, then any decent 32mb card would be more than enough. Neither application uses much memory on your graphics card. Really the only application that does is a good game.
