The Tech Report have posted a new guide asking the question does 64MB of extra memory make that much of a difference in your graphics card? Here's a snip:
In the NVIDIA corner, we have a couple of GeForce4 Ti 4200s running at 250/250MHz for their core and memory clocks. Running a GeForce4 Ti 4200 128MB with a 250MHz memory bus requires a little overclocking, since the GeForce4 Ti 4200 128MB's memory bus is supposed to run at 222MHz. The 64MB version, meanwhile, runs stock with 250MHz memory. Overclocking is necessary here to isolate memory size as a variable for the purposes of this article. This isn't a review of 64 vs 128MB cards, but more of a generalized comparison of different graphics memory sizes. You can check out our initial GeForce4 Ti 4200 review or our subsequent round-up of different GeForce4 Ti 4200 cards for benchmarks and analysis of cards running at stock speeds.
