This is also about the same price with the monitor but with more memory.

Graphics card memory has nothing to do with the system RAM, so any card goes, so to speak.

Quick question though, why AMD? Intel Core 2 duos are wiping the floor with them at the moment.... more Level 2 cache (4mb) and it uses less power for more performance.

I heard that AMD's were more powerful, but much less expensive. It just depends. It's either that or an Intel Core 2 Duo at 2.4ghz...

Whoever told you that either lied to you or is an AMD fanboy who doesn't realize that Intel's Core 2 duo's are way better at the moment. Really, with a core 2 duo you get more porcessing power and your electricity bills will be easier to pay :)

Ok, I found one with a Dual Core Processor but it's only at 2.2Ghz compared to 2.8Ghz with AMD. Does it matter?
