256 memory will help, but not much. If there was a X800 XT 128MB, it probably run just as well as the 256 MB.

true something to do wit the core speed? ( i heard in some ways the 128 is faster than the 256 [ the old/fisrt ones out on the market] )

Depends on the card. Sometimes companies (::cough::nVidia::cough: like to trick n00bs by taking really crappy cards (FX5200, FX5600) and throwing on 256 MBs of memory, while leaving the speed of the clocks and memory rediculously slow. So people go "Oooh&#33; 256 MBs of memory? THis must be awesome&#33;" only to find out a 64MB 8500 Pro schools these 256MB cards. But on two cards where clocks are the same but one has 128MBs and the other 256 MBs, you won&#39;t see a big difference in FPS on DOOM ]|[ (so my logic tells me).

Yeah well over a yea rago I fell for the FX5600. Then I sold it, got &#036;150, and bought a 9800 Pro. Since then, I&#39;ve learned a lot about video cards.

I fell for the fx5200 about a year ago. Vice City was plauged with errors, and stupid resolutions.

Sold it for &#036;100 (NZ money of course)

got a R9600XT for &#036;250

had it for a couple of months.

Sold it for &#036;300 (mwahaha)

Bought a R9800 pro 128mb.
