I've heard of some computer technicians saying that we must make sure that the memory of the RAM has to be 2 times the memory of GPU. Is this true? Recently, I always encounter a problem. While I was playing game, the pc suddenly shuts down. This problem has been repeating for many times. For ur info, my RAM is 768MB and my graphics card is 512MB. Is there a certain ratio between RAM and GPU memory to have peak performance?

Ask the gaming enthusiasts, they know more.
I've never heard of that memory ratio before from gamers or from graphics card makers. Or the technicians may be referring to PCs w/ integrated graphics on board.
Vanadiel3 may also be right. OR your PSU is underpowered and having difficulty coping w/ the requirement of you card. OR either your processor or your GPU is overheating.
Better install a monitoring software like Everest so that you could check voltages and temperatures. If you are running a dual core, Coretemp is great to use.

Get more memory (up tp1024 MB) because the demand of the GPu will constantly overdrive the current number of memory

Never heard of that rumor before. But from your problem, I suggest you to have a look on your PSU. Most auto-shutdown problem came from PSU.
