It says 1GB but is it really 1024MB?

Yes.

Yes it is. For this card go for 2gb if you have a high resolution monitor with a big screen ittl cost you 40 bucks more but its worth it. Maybe go for nividas equlaivent the GTX 560 ti.

Thanks for the answers. I will be running it on a 21.5" at 1080 res. I suppose the extra 40 bucks is worth it. I am building my rig around BF3 so I will be waiting to see benchmarks on the 560 ti and 6950.

Again thank you guys for helping out.
