Radeon 9800 256 or 128

[Guest]

I am looking for a good Video card. I have narrowed it down to the Radeon 9800. What I don't know is which of the Pros would be better for gamming and everyday use. Should I get the 128 or 256?

The 128 meg version is more than sufficient for hardcore gaming.

Get the 256 if you want to run Antialiassing and ungodly high resolutions at the same time (i.e. 1600*1200)... that's the only place you'll see a performance improvement until games come out requiring super-high textures (no games like that are out yet).

That is what I was thinking, but I was not sure if the 256 would be a good buy ti be ready for th future games.
