The two video cards I am looking at right now are the Radeon X1950 pro(512mb) and and the X1950XT(256mb). The XT is only $20 more($180-200), but isn't more memory going to be a bigger factor with the newer games coming out? I have not kept up to date with the new cards coming out since I have not had the cash to even think about building a new system for 4 years.

Finally have around $900 to spend on new rig and was looking at these two cards to go along with a intel dual core processor(not sure which one yet). Also will be sure to snag 2gb of RAM. Just trying to think which will run games better.

Thank you, been looking for a site like that to compare benchmarks.

Happen to have something like that for CPU's?
