Nope, and quite frankly, it should be impossible to trick your computer into thinking it has a better video card. A video card processes pixels of it's own compared to the CPU, and are MUCH different pixels than that of what the CPU gives. Ram is temporary storage, and every second it's used it recycles out old storage into new storage.
So basically, if there were such a program to say put the temporary storage on your PC without having the necessary ram, your hard drive would fill up at a tremendous speed. You'd basically get at least 1 gig of space used up per 30 seconds until you exit the game and delete the files that it stored (as a hard drive is permanent storage).
The only program that tricks your computer into thinking it has anything is called Daemon tools, which makes your computer believe it has a DVD rom drive, so that its possible for your computer to read an ISO image on your computer's hard drive like it were a bootable DVD.
I'd honestly like to see this program of yours that makes your PC think it has better graphics. Do you have the website where you downloaded it or at least the name of the program?

This is the first time I've heard of a program that can trick your computer into thinking that a graphics card exist. Where did you come by this program, UN_MPLYD? 
As far as I know, I have yet to come across a program (or any program at all) that has the ability to fool a computer into thinking that it has a graphics card (or any other component) exist when there really isn't any at all.
As for the RAM, you can basically alter the page file system. You can change the minimum size to 768 (512 x 1.5, since page file size is 1.5 times the amount of RAM) but even so, you will encounter a lot of stuttering when running Company of Heroes at 512MB of RAM. That's my experience when playing Company of Heroes with this configuration. Only when I upgraded to 1GB then the stuttering is non-existent.

Found a program that mimics certain features of a video card, such as Pixel Shader but to an EXTREME extent.
Otherwise, there is no such thing as an emulator for a video card.
