but one of my friend told me i might have problems with playing games and such with my 22 inch widescreen. most likely im gonna run 1680 x 1050.

256Mb is fine.

A 512Mb may offer better performance at times but it's hardly worth the extra hundred or so you'd have to pay for it.

well it depends really ... on your resolution, fps and rendering etc .. u know .. the ram is for storing frames and other data .. its the same if ur going 2 play on a 22" or a 17" .. if the resolutions the same .. all it does it output the reso signal to your monitor ... its jst that if u have a bigger monitor its morelikely that u'll run at a higher resolution ...
