You can use a DDR3 vid card if you want, VRAM is completely independant to System RAM (excluding Turbocache and Hypermemory ofcourse)

If memory serves, DDR actually first appeared on video cards before making its way to system RAM. This goes back to the original Geforce 1 cards in late 99 early 2000.
