    actually, as i understand it, the only benefit you get from the 640 over the 320 is better framerates at higher resolutions. so.. if you still have that smaller 19 inch that only supported a 1280 X 1024, or that widescreen 1440 X 900, then you could do without the extra 100-150 bucks.

    BUT.. i wont push anyone to buy the 320 if you can afford the 640, because im sure when more games come out, even at the lower resolutions, you're gonna need that extra 320mb of ram.

    im only sayin that the 320 is def a good suffice if you must, and you wont suffer any real performance from it.

    yeah, unless you have 21in+, or 1600x1200, im using 1680x1050, so bf2142 at max settings needs it

    Looks like the performance hit comes from higher resolutions and enabling higher AA levels. Here's a few charts for those who want to see more concrete facts and numbers.

    By the way, HardOCP actually recommends it for resolutions of 1920x1200 and lower. It doesn't do bad at all at that high of a resolution.
