Don't buy 256MB version, get the 512MB its the same price.
lol. i found an 512MB ver. for $80-90 more. i think
Don't even get a GT or GTS a X1950pro is the same price and will outperform both, don't waste your money.

Which dosent matter. The 8600GT and GTS are too weak to play a DX10 game in DX10 at respectable settings. Meanwhile that X1950Pro will perform good in DX9 games and DX10 games in DX9 mode.
The only midrange DX10 card I would susgest spending money on is the HD2600XT, the 512mb version can be found easily for $150. I own the 256mb version and it can run anything I have at mid high-max settings with 30-150 FPS, this is with EQ2, WoW, Empire at War, Oblivion, Lotro, FEAR, and Warhammer Dawn of War.

lol. funny thing. i went out to Fry's and bought a HD2400 for $150, the HD2600XT was $230 and i didn't have that much. >.>
x1950pro is a sweet card ran it before i got the 8800 nvidia...dont even bother with nvidia cards unless u get 8800 series... zipzoomfly.com got a good price on it to if u can find one in stock which should tell u how popular the card is.
