256 MB = waste. 5% increase at most, and only under super high resolutions with anisotropic filtering turned up high and front side anti aliasing blasting at full speed.

Drivers = decent, but not as good as NVIDIA's. I know a few people that have had to format their PCs because of ATI's Catalyst drivers, but overall, they're definitely acceptable. Just use the most up to date drivers and you'll be fine.
