PowerColor Ati 9600 XT: 128MB or 256MB?

I've seen both; where i live, 128mb model: 191 ?; and 256mb model: 204
?.

What's the difference besides price and memory ammount?
Memory runs at the same speed in both cases, or is it faster in one of
them?
(And if equal, i think it's worth paying those extra 13 ? for double
memory, isn't it?).

Thanks in advance.

You think you're the first person to ask this question? Sheesh, the
"how much video mem is optimum" question is probably the most common
viedo-card issue out there. Go to google and search.

You're welcome, in advance.

I was looking for a more straight-forward answer, supposed i want a
video card that will long in time with an acceptable performance next year
and a half - two years (maybe i should have mentioned it). And for the
memory speed question, i searched in powercolor site but found nothing.

Thanks anyway 'in advance' (already new google).
