...the price is the real reason that I like the GeForce GTS 250 as I believe that 139 USD is just a very fair deal. Should you go for 1024MB of memory? Well, I tend to say yes. The price is only ~25 USD higher and especially with modern DX10 titles we start to see the benefit of more than 512MB memory.
