What do you think would be faster in a Quicksilver, a Radeon 9000 with 128 vram, or a 9600 with 64? Apparently you can use a 9600 in a G4 according to this site.

9600. Not even close (this is assuming 3D of course).
Never assume that one card is faster than another just because it has more RAM. The processor on the 9600 is much more faster than the 9000. Go to sites like anandtech.com and look at PC benchmarks for an idea of the performance of these cards.
