I am buying a Dell Studio 15.
I have option of ATI radeon HD 4570 as graphics card with 256 MB or 512 MB.
The proc. is a C2D with 4Gb ram.

Will paying extra for a 512 MB card is any worth or I should settle for a 256 MB card.
I am not a hardcore gamer just a casual gamer but will work on application like maya.

Please reply urgently.

Go for the 512 MB version if u wanna play games in ur laptop. Check what kind of memory they are supplying (GDDR3 or GDDR2 or Normal DDR3 or DDR2).
But if u want to use ur laptop for normal activity, casual gaming or HD movie play back then 256 MB will be sufficient for u.
