k, is there a faq here / somewhere else (need link plz) that explains
the mem / core clock speeds
the mb of the card and such? (purpose / what it does)

pretty much: how much is the diff. between 128 / 256 versions of same card?
 
HUGE DIFFERENCE. The more memory the card has, the easier it can load and apply details and such. The memory speed determines how fast it can load these details and such.
 
thanks, that clarifies some. but is 128mb decent enough? will I be able to play - (doom3 mid-graph @ 1024x768?)
 
I wouldn't base your purchase on whether the card is 128 v 256; what i mean by this is that there are vanila 6600s with 256 megs of ram, but the card isn't fast enough to make the extra ram truly worth it. ex. the 6600gt 128 will be faster than the 6600 256.

give us some idea as to what you're looking at and your price range and we can suggest :)
 
well, thought about x300 first, but ppl here said to better shoot for a x700. might go that route... (I bought mobo/case/psu/chip and had no $ left for card.. so gotta get one soon.)
I was using fx5200 before, could'nt play D3 at all. think x700 might help, and I can get one for around $100 +/-40. just was wondering to get the 256 or 128 version, and if that will be much of a differance.
 
probly 100 +/-50 , (might pay more to get one at Best-buy....gift card...)
was looking at some of the x700 "hyper memory", will probly get the normal edition.
how is the 6600, compare to 6200, or x700 (normal edition, same Mb-size?)

Click to expand...

Are you sure that more memories are better?, in some cases having more memory can have its draw backs, such as a 9250 having 256mb of memory, basically that extra 128mb is doing jack crap, all its doing is drawing in noobs to buy those card, because some people thinks that Oh god that card has 256mb it must perform better then a 128mb card.
 
a card that has 256mb of memory msut have a good GPU and memory performance (speed) to back it up... like said a 256mb on a 9250 is jack crap. however on a 6600GT perse. it is quite useful.
 
Gotta be PCI-e,
might be a little white till I get it (1-2 weeks?)

got 32 mb PCI to use temp. hope it works...
