in demanding games the 256 meg card will really shine compared to the 128... so it kinda depends on what games your playing and how long you will have this card...if you plan to keep it for more than a year... 256mb, if less than a year, 128 will suffice...
128MB or 256MB?
Hey can i just get a little advice?
i am building a comp and wan't it to be semi decent as i will upgrade later, the main thing i will be using it for is gaming

and i just wana ask, is there a huge difference between graphics cards that use 128MB to 256MB?
thanks

It's not the extra memory that will make such a big difference, it's the models themselves that happen to have 256 mb of video memory. Which models were you comparing, so we can give better info.

What are you talking about...?
350 core. Ok normal.
500 memory. Ok 500MHz = 1000MHz DDR. 1000MHz is normal.
What, 6800 ultra runs at 430/1100? 350/500 sounds ok for a 6800gt...

yeah. DDR = double data rate
no matter what, get a 256mb card, either its a 6600GT or a 6800GT. Then one future bottleneck has been removed and ur card will be effecive longer.
