I am very appreciative of all the posts regarding the Gainward GF3-TI200 128 Mg.
memory issue, but I still have one giant question thats haunting me ::

Why would it not make sense to buy a card with 128 mg. of memory instead of 64 mg. for almost the same price ? I can't believe the extra memory would not make a difference in performance someday with games that will use over 64 mgs. of memeory. If more RAM is good, why is not more video card memory also
better ? We are only talking $ 38 more for the fastest GF3-TI200 card available(as evaluated by all the reviews I have read)! I want to order this card, but I keep reading posts saying it is not worth it and the 64 mg. card is enough. any other thoughts ?
