In fact it will be slower.... and 256mb version is slower than the 128mb version. 256mb does nothing for $400 video cards. If you want a real upgrade, you'd need to buy a $300 5900 Ultra or ATI 9800Pro. -- Remember when real men used Real computers!? When 512K of video RAM was a lot! Death to Palladium & WPA!!

Will I see any improvements in my games? I would wait until the FX 5700 Ultra comes out in a few weeks and then look at various reviews on the web. Unless you want DX9, a higher res, 4xAA and 8xAF, you wouldn't see much improvement over what you have with any of the midrange cards.
