What's the difference between a 128 MB and a 256 MB graphics card on a Macbook Pro? which one should I get?

I'm going to get a macbook pro, but there are three options, I'm going to get the cheaper option which basically has two main differences (that you can't upgrade when ordering): The processor speed and the Graphics card. I can upgrade the RAM and the disk space and I don't mind the 0.16 GHz difference (is that really a lot?) . So the only thing is the graphics card. I don't know much about graphics cards, is 128 MB enough? to play games once in a while, watch movies well, I don't know what else.. but is 128 enough? is that a good card? or is it really worth the extra few hundred dollars to get the 256 MB? thanks for the help!!

    At the moment having the 256MB of memory on a graphics card is a good investment when it comes to graphics cards these days. It will be able to render and handle images quicker and smoother. 128 will work but expect a longer wait time.

    If you play a lot of games with heavy graphics or do much graphics-intensive work on your computer, you'll be much happier with the 256 MB card. The 128 MB card is fine for browsing the web or other tasks.
