RAM matters for stuff like how many textures and other data can be loaded at once.

RAM stores cache.
But the GPU also has it's own graphics cache.
There is a difference.

Among other things, yes.

yeah textures and things of that nature would be stored in the GPU's integrated memory (assuming it has some, if it doesn't i think you found your problem lol)

All GPU have a memory.
Generalized are 512 MB for the older beings... :cookieMonster:
But now, not only that matters.
My GTX 460 has as much memory than my 9400GT, and it's still a lot faster.
So yeah, the fact that you don't need 250000 GB of RAM to do stuff also applies to GPU's :cookieMonster:.

no, integrated graphics share with the rest of the system.
