Gotta be very careful with this.
Always better to get a Faster GPU with 512mb than a crappy GPU with 1GB
for instance;

A 9800GT with 512MB
is gonna be MUCH better than
a 9500GT with 1GB (its probably 1GB of slower DDR2 anyway)
The latter is like buying a Mercades with a smart car engine under the hood.

The price difference will make it obvious which is the better card.
The golden rule of buying a new Video card is: GPU comes first, memory second, (Always)
If it sounds too good to be true, its because it is.
Dont be fooled.
