There are no compatibility issues with ram and gpu, there is no relation between the two. Dedicated gpu's have their own onboard memory.

Really the only thing to consider is your cpu and psu. The motherboards only requirement is at least one PCIe x16 slot which all modern motherboards have, if there's one out there that doesn't I haven't seen it.

This. Plus you may need to flash a bios update powered via a molex connection to ensure the porn drive is stable.

An old ass computer running Win7 could very well have an AGP port or normal PCI port.

Possibly, but given the conversation I'm working under the assumption that old ass defines a computer that came with Windows 7 pre installed which would mean the components inside are way beyond the AGP days.
