OT: Graphics cards 32Mb or 64Mb

Hi,

Sorry for the OT but people here normally know about such things.  I
am looking to get a new graphics card next week, Gforce GTS, but
should I go for a 32Mb or a 64Mb.  Finances will allow the 64 but is
it a good extra to have.  I play most racing games, both modern and
not so modern.

Also, does anyone know where I should buy from as I am off to Houston
from the UK so want to get a good price.  It may not be the best price
since I will need to go to one of the chain store places.

Thanks in advance,
Bob

Galleria. they have a good selection and good prices. Or you can try any of
the Best Buys. There is one near microCentre at 610 West and Hwy 59
intersection.

I have the 32, and already am starting to wish I had the 64. Think I will
need it for N4.

The main advantages of 64mb is it allows more efficient frame rates at 32
bit color depth and higher video resolutions (>1024x768). If  run at 10x7
or lower and if you are like me and can't really notice the visual
differenct in 32bit color from 16bit, a 32mb card will do you fine.
