I am going to buy 1 of these 2 cards, which one would all of you recommend?

http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814130233Which one do you think is better? They are basically the same price and same card, but one is 128 mb ram, other is 256 mb ram, but their clock speeds are different etc.
I haven't looked into computer hardware in a few years so if you can help me it would be greatly appreciated. I don't know how important the ram is versus other things.
If the links don't work, here is the specs from the site:
