Are 64MB Ram video cards to outdated to get.
Should I buy CompUSAs Geforce4 4200 64 MB for $80 dollors.
How much slower is it than the 128MB version
 
Actually, I think there are several benchmarks around that show the 64mb version being slightly faster than its 128mb brother.
 
64 MB cards are often significantly beaten by slower 128 MB cards, and then there's the benefits that benchmarks don't even show.

Get a 128 MB card.
 
😉 Yep 128MB is definitely what you should consider in any but the rock bottom gfx cards. The 4200 did muddy things a little because the orig 4200_64MB used slightly faster RAM than the orig 4200_128MB BUT even when including o/c'ing in to it the 128MB cards was the better buy. Now you should find the 4200-8X_128MB uses the same higher clocks and faster (better o/c'ing) RAM so that's what you should go for if you do go nVidia. Rad8500LE/9100 if clocked at (or very close to) 250/250 offer excellent value as they aren't far off 4200 perf but really Rad9500PRO is supremely good value and a very lastable card.

EDIT: Forget the 9500PRO comment (which is accurate) but must have been intended for a previous thread, if you're considering 64MB cards you aren't likely to be in the market for a £150/$190 gfx card LOL!
