I'd recommend buying an ATi Radeon HD 2400 XD. Mine is 1650MB (approx.).

Thats an OLD graphics card, pretty much crap when compared to decent graphics cards today, and no it does not have 1650 MB ram, thats just the total when adding up the shared system memory.

Fine.
Get a totally different 2GB card.

My dad found a 4 GB card

Just because a graphics card has a lot of RAM DOES NOT mean it is powerful. Generally a card with more RAM  performs better but it is not the most important factor in its performance/speed. A good graphics card has a good GPU (graphics processing unit) which is what accounts for the cards processing power.

I have never seen an mainstream gaming graphics card that has 4GB of ram in it, the only cards that I have seen with that much RAM are professional workstation graphics cards, which fine for gaming, but they have the same performance as a gaming graphics card that costs 1/8 of the price of a workstation graphics card.

The only video card that can have that much RAM is usually a super-high-powered-ultra-workstation cards which are used by like Disney/Pixar and such to make incredibly amazing looking 3D graphics.

The highest a video card can have as of today in this market is 1892 MB or something like that.

Well actually workstation graphics cards have the same exact processors and power as mainstream cards, but workstation cards usually have much more RAM. The big difference between the two is that workstation cards use different drivers then their mainstream counterparts that are much better at handling GPU accelerated programs like AutoCAD and photoshop. The reason that workstation cards are thousands of dollars more expensive is that they are targeted at developers who can actually afford them. Also, a little known fact is that you can take the some mainstream counterparts of workstation cards and flash their BIOS to have them report to your system that they are workstation cards, which allows you to use the optimized GPU accelerated drivers, which effectively lets you create a workstation card for a fraction of the cost of a workstation one.

Bu for 160 $.

I am wrong about the 4 GB... my dad lied....

Also, NEVER buy parts from dell, they are ALWAYS overpriced and you can always find them for cheaper elsewhere, like newegg.
