Upgrading for M2TW

got a 64MB Card, should I upgrade to a 128MB Card??

Well it depends on what those cards are. The size of a graphic card's memory is not a very good measure of its performance....

The amount of memory is largely unimportant because newer cards typically don't have a bottleneck with the amount of memory. Extra large memory configurations are usually gimmicks to make older cards more enticing. Its like having a speedometer that goes all the way to 250mph with a 4 banger.

What he said.

The ATI 9250 is such a card. I've seen them with 256 megs but they don't tell you they run at only 64-bit instead of 128. Bad deal.
