    They should both say 640M LE and they are both the keplar versions I believe.

    yes, they're both 640m LE Kepler-based GPUs. for gaming, 1GB VRAM is sufficient. if you want to do multi-monitor setup or intense video-editing, the 2GB version is better.

    Go with the 1 GB VRAM version. The 640M LE is not a high end gaming GPU anyway.
