ATI Radeon X1600 graphics with 128MB VS 256MB?

[illegaloperatio]

Is there an incredible difference between the 128 MB verses the 256 MB version of this card or is that just a selling point?

3 - 5% benefit (http://www.barefeats.com/imcd2.html)

If you have cash to spare, go for it. But if you are tight for cash, there's nothing wrong with the 128MB option.

Well why I asked, my MBP has the 256 MB card. We were eyeing the new Imacs and they were only offering the 128 mb version wtf? I would think the desktop would have the bigger one for sure

They offer it as an upgrade on the 20".

Your MBP was also $800 more than the 20" iMac...

Pro vs consumer product lines.
