well i would only get 128 megs... and a mid level.

i will most likely stick with a nvidia chip

right now i had a geforce 3 v8200 which is 3 years old... so it is going to be an improvement over that.

The card will mostly be used for tv - output.
games i play are not very graphics intensive... and if they are i turn the graphic stuff down...
