The memory on the graphics card is used to store textures and other data used in the game. This memory is optimised for use with the graphics card and hence is better than system memory. Obviously 256 MB would be better than 128 MB but it depends on the cost difference. Also it would be easier to recommend a card to you if I know what kind of games you intend to play. If you want to play texture heavy games like Doom 3, Half-Life 2 its better you get a 256 MB card. By the way what prices were you quoted for the 128 and 256 MB versions?
