Video card and graphics cards are one and the same.
As for power, sadly, even memory sizes of video cards does not indicate performance anymore.
Here are the video cards that I know, in order of "power"
ATI Radeon :
(Generally, the higher their model number the faster it is.)
X550
X700
X800
X1300
X1600
X1800
NVidia GeForce :
(Same applies. If you see a GS version of a Geforce card, it is considered slower to it's GT version.)
7300GS
7300GT
7600GS
7600GT
7900GS
7900GT
7950GX
8800GTX

I think Video and Graphic cards are the same. I would get 512 mb to keep up with new games. Dont know what "Or can I use them to at ones." means but you could go with a upgrade of RAM to make your computer faster.
