1600x1200...9800 XT or 9800 Pro?

[broncosfan]

Hi,

I have a native 1600x1200 LCD that has < 16ms response time (i.e. it
works great in games!).

I need to determine whether I want to buy a 256MB card or a 128MB card.
Since I will run some of my games at 1600x1200 does it matter which I
get? I realize that some games won't run acceptably at that high of a
res, but I do want the capability and the best performance I can get.

Finally, does the 9800 Pro come in a 256MB version?

Thanks for any info...

Depends on the games you play, but some recent games benefit from the
extra RAM.

Yes.
