    Well to answer the question over the GDDR3 and GDDR4 you can run it with DDR2, they are not related. I would go with the ATI.

    Your system RAM and video card RAM are not directly tied together, so you do not need to match these.

    The 8600 is a better choice between the two lines as far as gaming performance goes. However, HD playback is stronger on the Radeon X2600 and use less CPU power.
