I'm looking to build a new computer in a few weeks and am looking at graphics cards. If the 8800 GT gets under 100 by then..i'll buy that but until then i'm comparing two 8600 GT cards.
they are both relatively the same. One has a 512 MB DDR2 onboard and the other has a 256 DDR3 onboard.
does the 256 DDR3 make the card better than the 512 MB of DDR2?
Also, does the onboard ram have to be compatible with the motherboard?
