Ok well my friend is considering getting this video card:

9600XT 256MB AGP 4x/8x
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102335

Or...

9600XT 128MB AGP 4x/8x
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125124

Few questions:

1. Is it really worth $10 extra to get the 256MB? I think it is...

2. Is the difference between 4x/8x minimal or huge?

3. How well of FPS will it get on HL2/CSS on medium to high at 800x600 with 1.6 Ghz P4 and 768MB RAM?

4. Last question, he has a 250W PSU that powers what I listed and then a 60GB HD and 1 IDE drive, would the 9600XT have enough power?

Thanks!

If you have any other cards to recommend, list it please. He wants to stay below $100
