I'm no hardware guy but I thought that the onboard graphics cards tend to 'steal' memory to work. Someone correct me if this is wrong.
If you can afford it I would get a 'real' graphics card with dual heads so you can (later?) drive two monitors if you want. Also, although not strictly needed to drive a standard NLW for editting, there are editting applications (typically special effects apps like ParticleIllusion) that will benefit from/require it and you might well want to not choose to shut the door on these apps.
I'm surprised others haven't jumped in on this question yet but also make sure you have a firewire port on whatever box you get. This is a prerequisite for any capture worth the name.
Also, go for 1Gb of RAM as a bare minimum.
