Take 512mb with gddr3

They both suck. Get a real gaming card & as kuwese pointed out, get one that has GDDR3 memory, not GDDR2. For $40, you can't go wrong with this 9600 GSO w/512MB GDDR3. It will easily blow either of the two cards you mentioned right out of the water: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... Also, if you compare two cards that are identical except for the RAM amount, the 1GB card is *usually* slower than 512MB card.

If you get the 9600gso you better plan on buying a better power supply if you dont' already have a good one, because it uses an extra power connection and your typical run of the mill power supply won't cut it. So you will be spending an extra 40 bucks or so on a decent power supply. That or get an ATI Radeon 4670 for under 75 dollars that doesn't use an extra power connection which will be just enough for your typical run of the mill power supply to handle. Iron Sharpens Iron.

LOL. I usually recommend the HD 4670 but I went with the 9600 GSO this time because of the price.
