Computer Woes

I want to upgrade my computers graphic card and also the RAM. Right now I have just a stock 64mb built in graphic card, I'm looking at a GeForce 5500 OC or a 5700 LE. What does the AGP on the cards stand for and is it something all computers have? As for the RAM I have 512 DDR SDRAM, I want to put another 512 in. Can I put in just 512 DDR or does it have to be 512 DDR SDRAM? I do know that I have an open DIMM slot for it so thats not a problem. I'm the furthest thing from computer literate so if this don't make sense I apologize. I'm lookin at this as a learning experience. Thanks in advance.
