WOOOOOOOOW slow down there. You can run eve on the geforce FX 5100 + range.
Anything with a prefix of 7 is overkill atm.
Edit: this is because eve currently sucks on your processor more than your graphics card really, but this will be changed with the new graphics engine, trinity. However, you will probably be able to run it perfectly without sacrificing much quality on the geforce 6000 range.

I also want to make sure that no memory is shared between the system and the graphic chip. Do the 7300s ever do that? I've seen stuff like "GeForce 7300 128-256 MB" on the labels in the shops I've been to and that got me worried.
As for this, only the "turbocache" nvidia cards do this, so no, no need to worry.

So what does this 128/256MB business mean?
I'm not entirely sure on that one: could be that the manufacturers have done something with it do simulate 256, or some or majicks. I'm not sure about this one at all, sorry :P

Parm, are you serious there?
I have atm a 9600 pro (Ati) and get in dual screen ~25fps, so does that mean it will work better or worse when the updated graphics hit?
P.s. Sorry for the hijack but I would also like to know this info as I want to do the same.......... At some point.
It all depends on how you want to run the new graphics engine: i suspect there will be optimizations to make it run better on low end machines anyway, so if your card is capable, which it seems to be, it should run better (ofc unless you jack all the settings up or something)
That's more speculation now though; what I do know is that they are reducing the amount of cpu usage and dumping it on the gfx cards.
