Hi,
Im currently in the middle of choosing the components for my new PC. I have chosen most of it (Athlon 64 3400, MSI k8T, 1024MB RAM, 160 SATA HDD etc) but im unsure as to what graphics card to buy.
Im pretty sure im going to go with a Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9800 PRO. Ive seen good reviews, and they arent to expensive either. I cant decide on the amount of memory to go for though. The 128MB version is £140 and the 256MB version is £205. Is it worth spending the extra money? From the benchmarks i have seen i would say no, but im thinking about the future too.Im wondering whether its worth spending the extra,so games in the future will make use of the extra memory.
Any hints, tips etc would be great.
James
