Hi I'd like to know the reasons that the 256mb video card costs more than the 512mb?

The X1950 pro is a much faster video card overall and the X1650 Pro is an outdated AGP video card that can't take advantage of the 512mb of memory it has.

well said. if you look at the amount of pixel shaders, pixel pipelines, memory speed, core clock speed, the 1950 wins them all hands down
