I'll be running Vista, designing graphics and have a many applications open at once. However, there won't be any large amount of animations or gaming.

If not using anything along those lines 256 would most likely suffice. My main question is what is the price difference? If minimaul I would second JBs suggestion.

I'm not sure what a 128mb card would look like on Vista, but on XP it handles it just fine. _____________________________ Arizona Web Design - Mr Bobs Web Design in Arizona The Arizona Web Hosting Challenge (in reply to Spooky)
