Default 128MB or 256MB video cards?

128 MB is the redcommended about by MS for the processing of 1080i HD
programs Any more than that is nor requred or used so it just increases the
cost, power consumption and head generated by the card. The addition
memory, however, is a definite asset for high performance gaming
applications. So if you are not a gamer you don't have any need for it.

The minimum requirement for vista seems to be 128MB video card. Would I
gain any functionality by going to a 256MB card?
