Question i have is i just ordered a Quadro FX500 to replace my Geforce4 M420 will i see an all around improvement when modeling such as rebuild times and complex filleting response time? And do you feel that a Graphics card is as or more important than an increasing your ram, if you can only choose one too do.
Do Graphic Cards impact Rebuilds and geometry creation

No. Those use only the CPU.
Balance your system depending on what you do: simple parts and small assemblies: 512Mb and low GeForce is enough surfaces & design, "normal" assemblies : 1Mb and high GeForce or low Quadro is ok large assemblies : 2+Mb, top Quadro.
