Alright I want to know which one is going to get me better fps. My freind told me that 128mb will get me better frame rates. But I dont get that. Should I go with the 256mb one or the 128mb? My system specs below.

Most of the bench marks I've looked at (Say in Tom's Hardware) tend to show almost no difference in the frame rates between those 2 cards... (Bench marks were done on most popular games not AH2)...

Most often the 256mb cards (except for high end cards) use slower RAM to compensate for costs.

So in most games, the 128mb one will actually be faster.
