Graphic Card Suggestion

I will soon be putting together my first PVR and was wondering what graphic card should I be looking at. This machine will be 99% PVR only with 1% for small other things, but not many. It will also be connected to a Mitshubishi 65313 via S-Video but will mostly be used for straming to other computers. The connection to the TV is just to see what's going on with the machine if need be.

I'm not sure if I should get the 128MB or the 256MB? I have an ati 7500 in my main machines now so whichever one I get I may just swap if the PVR will work ok with it. I have it narrow down to these three cards, but not sure which to get, 9550 or 9600, nor am I sure to get the 128MB or 256MB.

Ati 9550 256MB 128-bit

Ati 9660 128MB 128-bit

Ati 9660 256MB 128-bit
 
If by PVR you mean you'll be doing mostly video stuff on it (no gaming), then either one of those should be fine. You probably wont see any difference between 256 or 128 mb, so might as well get the cheaper version.
