Both play a role in games. The video card is by far the most important but I'd recommend at least 2GB of RAM for any modern day PC.

I had a friend who I used to play WoW with, I don't play any more only got to 33 :D, and his PC only had like 512MB of RAM and he kept gettind DC'd when trying to go from Ogrimmar to the Undead city.

Well, he asked me what could be causing the problem and I told him that he needed more RAM. Well, lo and behold be bought a 1GB stick about a week later and didn't have any more problems....

His PC is really old, uses like PC100 or PC133 RAM :D

Any modern PC should be running 2GB's of RAM, its the sweet spot for gaming right now.

So will you be upgrading your RAM by 1gb or do you currently have 1gb? Also what video card do you currently have? What's your budget for the upgrade? Might be good to get both RAM and a video card.
