No, it wouldn't.
I don't think you understand how the memory architecture of a modern
Intel chipset works. The memory clock spee

Personally, I just ordered a brand spankin' new Compaq server (ugh... HP
server now) with dual P4 Xeon 2.8 GHZ processors, 3GB of RAM. I can't
wait to get my hot little hands on that and see just how well it
crunches the #'s. It's memory is 200MHz DDR (FSB is 400MHz), advanced
ECC (Compaq's versi

You definitely want the video card with it's own memory. If you feel
like doing some reading go to http://www.tomshardware.com
Lots of info on the newest (and not so new) hardware there.
