I am very curious why the memory space has been included into the graphic card. Why do we have 512MB and 128MB. And what is DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3?? This questions are keep puzzling in my mind for many years and never get a clear answer doh.gif . Many of my peers told me that the most expensive one is the best shakehead.gif . I find this answer a bit lame. So can anyone tell me how to choose a good graphic card?

first u need to know wat u want first and u want it for wat.

the DDR1 ,2 ,3,4 is the same as the system RAM, but the graphic card is running on it's own RAM aka graphic memory, thus it share less system RAM.

it's a fact that the more expensive the better, but sometimes the case r just different like the 8800GT which r cheap and perform able to par with high-end card nod.gif

when choosing a graphic card, u hv to know ur budget first, so u can choose the one that most suit u within ur budget range smile.gif

oh i see, but i have two different graphic cards here which i need more clarification. the first one is winfast px 8600 gt 256mb d3 256bit which cost rm700. the second one is gigabyte 8600 gt 512 ddr2 which is only rm400. i wonder why winfast is far more expensive then gigabyte? gigabyte has more memory capacity than winfast. i think it should be more expensive.

u need to see whether it is DDR3 or DDR2 first, DDR3 provide more bandwidth compare to DDR2, even it is only 256mb DDR3 but it is faster than 512MB DDR2....
