I'd say the 128MB version runs very smoothly but either 128 or 256 would do.
A short review but sum it all up.
THE NVIDIA GEFORCE IS DEFINATLY THE BEST LOW END CARD OUT THERE.

A Bargain Card, If you use drivers 84.21 from 2006.
This is a HD ready card, and HD players are over £300. So you can cheaply watch HD movies with this card. However, it only works properly with driver 84.21 from 2006. At first, you might think.. well I don't want it then, but driver upgrades after 2006 were mainly for the NVidia 7000 series, so you don't really lose anything by using old drivers. I recommend this card as a bargain, just get the old drivers, it makes no difference.

Graphic card update!
I recently upgraded the graphic card in my PC from 128MB to 256MB. The main reason for doing this upgrade was so my daughter can play some of the newer games on the market.
Being an older version graphic card the price was a lot cheaper than the latest versions. But for my purpose it's ideal.
All in all a good purchase and easy to install.
Hope this review helps.
