How much graphics card memory is enough?

Yup. This was true 7 years ago when I bought my first "real" vid card and this is still true today. The load of RAM is only useful to a point. I would say that 256mb is certainly adequate for most things, and unless you're really keen on maximum gain regardless of what it costs you... getting more is probably not a terribly wise choice :p

Mind you, my next card will probably be a 512... but that won't happen for at least 1.5 years from now.
