I recently saw this sweet-looking deal on Newegg for a video card (i've been looking to upgrade

for a while, now seems to be a good time as a birthday present for myself.
These are the ones that i've looked at. What do you guys think for the choices I have narrowed

down.
XFX PVT84JUDD3 GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card

HIS Hightech H195PRF512DDN-R Radeon X1950PRO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card

Open Box: HIS Hightech H165PRP512GDDN-R Radeon X1650PRO 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16

iSilence II Video Card

I'm leaning towards the HIS X1950Pro because its 512 and 256-bit memory, even though it sports a

slightly slower clock and memory speed.

What do you guys think? Is 512mb worth the 30$-50$ over 256mb?

Well all I can say is that for just another $30 buy the 512Mb! Or you will be sorry, believe me. But I can't suggest you which one to buy.. I'm not that expert in Video Cards, but all I can say is that Radeon is quite good.
