Collisional damping of nuclear collective vibrations is studied within the framework of the Vlasov-Landau equation including retardation (memory) effects in the collision integral. Expressions for the nuclear two-body viscosity and the collisional width {Gamma} of the giant multipole resonances in heated nuclei are obtained in the case of the quadrupole dynamic distortion of the Fermi surface. An improved formula for {Gamma} is also proposed in which all multipolarities of the distortion of the Fermi sphere are taken into account. The collisional width of the giant dipole resonance is calculated as a function of excitation energy for the Sn nuclei region using this formula. It shows a weak variation with temperature. In the temperature range of {ital T}{approx}2.5--7 MeV, the contribution of collisional damping to GDR width does not exceed 50% of the experimental values.
