Video Cards: BFG GTX 285 1GB vs. BFG GTX 285 2GB?

The same card, but one has twice the memory of the other.



I'm trying to put a computer together and I can't decide which card to go with. The 2GB BFG GTX 285 card provides more memory, yet it does have a slower Memory Speed (2322MHz) as compared to the 1GB version (Memory Speed 2484MHz). Other than that, the Processor Speed, the RAMDAC Speed, and the Shader Clock all run at the same MHz on both cards.



So, my question is, which card should I get considering these things, as well as a higher price tag on the 2GB version (~60$ more).



Here's a link to the products:

Any help at all would be awesome! :D|||Go for the 1GB version. The extra memory is useless. 1GB is plenty.
