XFX GT240XYHFC vs Galaxy 24GFH8HX2PUG

Solution
128bit mem + ddr5 performance is about the same as 256bit mem + ddr3 performance...
Don't worry about that, GT240 is a good card for an average use. :)

I'm buying a GT 240 because it is inexpensive, yet powerful so hopefully i can actually play games.
Also, since its a 128bit memory interface, will the DDR5 be wasted?

This helped me answer another question: should I get http://www.frys.com/product/6159169 instead. It is GTS 250 512MB 256 bit DDR3 but requires 400 watt; whereas the GT 240 requires 300watt. If the performance are similar then its better to go with 240 so i wont have to upgrade my power supply.
