Definitely take the 128MB.   The performance boost over the 64MB cards
is noticable. The performance tests that I've seen re: 128MB vs. 256MB
GeForceFX cards have actually shown that the 256 can be SLOWER than the
128 in many cases, so it's really not worth the extra money.

For absolute stability and very good performance, I would look in to a
128MB GeForce 4 Ti4600/Ti4800.  The FX cards that I've tried (at least
from PNY) have been flaky, at best.
