    The 9500GS is equal to the 8600m GT so yes, the 8700M GT is better...

    The 8700m GT is the better card, but if better alternatives like the 8800 variants are available for an affordable price then ditch both in favour of the 8800.

    Memory doesn't really work like that, more doesn't necessarily mean better.
