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
It never hurts to have more. Go to MicroCentre on Post Oak @ 610 West by the
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.

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.
