though 8600GT may not be able to fully utilise the 512MB, you can't reject it saying that the card cant address that much memory space.. if you are playing in higher resolutions or with some higher settings 256MB can be saturated... in that cases having the 512 MB is useful...

I dunno if the 512MB GDDR3 is easily available.. only if its not available go for the 256MB card

HD3650 costs 5.5k
AFAIK HD3650 (costlier than what you have quoted) better for movies but 8600GT is better for game performance. can you point me to some benchmarks that prove otherwise


for portable HDD,

120GB WD External HDD would be around 3k
