hello, ive recently purchased the 128mb version of the 6800GT. my goal is to run doom 3 as best i can, however, i didn't realize there was a 256mb of the 6800GT until recently, and now I am thinking about selling it, in favor of it. It costs about $100 more... what am I getting with that extra 128MB? just curious if its worth it, I am assuming it must be to a degree, otherwise people wouldn't buy them?

Just as an example, look at the Radeon X600 Pro 128MB vs the 256MB version:
