Also, the video card that costs $400 today will cost maybe $100 in 8 months to a year, while the RAM won't go down by more than 10-15%. In a way though, you are correct, just not between those two parts.

I can't imagine anyone needing more than 1GB of RAM for a while. I run games like Doom3 and FarCry on my system with ease and I have 1GB. The only thing I can think of would be a server.
Now, I also just dumped $500 on a video card. ATI Radeon X800 XT. I won't be upgrading that for a good while.
I agree with Munkay and go with the video card first, RAM later.
