Your CPU needs memory to read/write to to run anything, your video card does the same. A high-graphics video game will require a lot of memory to run. The CPU has your system RAM and your video card has its own memory to work with the graphics. In your case the Video and CPU are using the same memory and a the video can slow your game to a halt because your CPU doesn't have enough ram to do the job properly and visa versa.
