It's 256MB. The performance is a million times better compared to the FX5200 and this card has dual DVI. Comparing the 9650 to a 128MB 9600 I didn't notice anything super significant.

I figured I would want to hear your thoughts between my 9600 XT and your 9650. Just to see if it would be a worthy upgrade...

How much VRAM does the 9650 have in it? How's the performance? I am looking at either upgrading my dual 1.8, but the four RAM slots is definitely a hinderance or upgrade to a 2.0 or Intel.

Well, I'm not sure. I got the card today, DOA. Oh well, another is on order (it might actually be a 128MB 9600 I'll find out when I get it) and the seller refunded. I can tell you it works great in the Dual 2.0 (also only 4 RAM slots).

I'm hoping for better luck on the replacement processor I ordered. Should be here sometime next week.

Alright, keep us posted on the future events with these G5s.
