Get the 128MB 9600 they usually have 4ns memory. Cards like the Sapphire 9600 128MB usually overclock to about 250 (from stock 200). 256MB models have 5ns memory that barely runs its 200 MHz rating.

DO NOT get the 256mb version. That card isn't nearly fast enought to take advantage of the extra ram. Plus it's slower, as Blastman pointed out.

IF you are goihng thei route I have to suggest the 9600Pro Sapphire. They overclock like a mother on average. Mine is running 500/350 from a stock 400/300. and I hope to do better on the ram once I get ramsinks on.
