Hi,
I'm having a configuration of 1.25gb RAM-intel101ggc motherboard-p4(2.66Ghz) and no graphics card.
To play fifa11 and/or maxpayne3 , should i upgrade my ram to 2 gb or buy a graphics card(HD 4670/5450?)

I m afraid ur mobo has gfx crd slot or not. So,First of all make sure that you have a PCIe slot for GPU.
Increasing RAM wont help, better to spend 6k on a new AMD Tricore rig and 4k on a good gfx crd like SAPPHIRE HD5670 DDR5 512MB.

Contrary to 'very' popular beliefs even now , increasing RAM does very little to enhance gaming performance.

Get a 5670 512 MB.

Intel101ggc motherboard is the same motherboard I had. Yes it has PCIE x16 slot. Go for Nvidia 9500GT.

Is HD5670 equivalent to 9500GT ??
