Does it matter if the GT 240 is 512MB or 1GB? Both can be DDR5, right?

Which is better, GTS 250 or GT 240? I'm comparing both since I can find either for about $80. I'm just wondering if the GT 240 is a better deal since it's good for HTPC, too. Can the GT 240 run WOW?

1GB helps if you're playing at high resolutions, 1920x1080 and up.

9600GT, GT 240 (GDDR5), HD 5570 (GDDR5) >
