Here's your motherboard info. If you don't have a copy, I suggest you download it & save it:

The memory used in the motherboard has nothing to do with the memory on the video card. According to the manual, "When a PCI Express x16 add-in card is installed, the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Northbridge graphics controller is disabled."

The 7300GT is a crappy card but the HD4670 was an excellent choice. It's a reasonably high performance gaming card with low power requirements. All you should have to do is install the card, connect the monitor, boot into Windows, install the drivers for the new card & you'll be good to go.
