My guess is the big video ram is high resolution textures, complex geometry, and a long draw distance. I honestly don't know much about video games though.
The smaller install is totally the map streaming stuff. I'm unsure quite why it has to be so big, but again, I don't know video games. I do recall you having to tell it where you want to start from and it'll download some stuff there.
