Why not get the 128 mg. memory Gainward card for $ 38 bucks more than the 64 mg. card ? If 128 memory were not a wise purchase for a GF 3-TI200, why will the GF 4 cards include 128 memory ? It just seems to make good sense for the future to get the 128 memory and be prepared for future games that will use the extra memory, Buy for the future, not just for now !

There are several different 128mb GF3 cards out on the market now.

Here is a link to the Gainward card (Scroll down to the bottom to see it):

However, getting a 128mb GF3 will not even get you a 1% improvement in frame rates in any game (including MOH). The only advantage is if you use the card to do 3D rendering. NO GAME can take advantage of all that VRAM.

There have been several benchmarks comparing the Ti200 64mb vs. the Ti200 128mb with less than 1% improvement. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
