Default 128 MB vs. 256 MB

Hello everyone! I want to ask would it be better
to take a graphics card with 128 MBs of DDR Ram
or with 256 MBs of DDR Ram?? And is it true
that the 256 MB are much older chipsets than
those of 128 MBs? What difference would it
make on the performance?? Actually
I'm asking about R9800 Pro and R9800 XT.
Is it really worth spending more money on the XT?
Thanks.

Chance

Get the 128MB Pro, $200 more isn't worth it from what I've read from others.
I use the FX 5900, which is also a nice card if you aren't set on ATI.
