I'd be cheap and get the MSI x800. The 256MB of memory won't help you too much, but if you've got the money to burn, go for it.

well, the x800 is a 256bit bus so i'd say 256mb might actually benefit you somewhat since the core was designed for 256mb memory primarily too(x800xl core with 1 quad disABLED)

Get the 256mb version. It will outperform the 128mb vers at much higher levels of AA / AF enabled. Also the MSI 256mb vers has a $30 rebate too at Newegg
