    Their both the same, even tho one has more memory it will not make a noticeable difference (maybe 1-2% at the most)

    It's not twice of anything...just memory, which means almost nothing. Everything else, including the core (which is the most important aspect of a gpu's power) is the same.

    I really hope that it doesn't cost twice as much just to upgrade from the 128mb GS to the 256mb GS.

    But I guess it's good for the manufacturers, as clueless people will pay that much money thinking their getting a huge improvement.
