definitely the better of the cards and i've seen in some benchmarks where the 256 actually does worse for wear in most benchmarks due to the placement of the extra 128MB of memory, or so i've heard. But, if you are planning to play doom3 or halflife 2, the 256mb card is the winner.
By the way, I know you said you were hopping off the nvidia bandwagon, but the GFFX 5900 DOES outperform the 9800 if you use the latest driver download.
