They're all crap, and on top of that, none of them are produced any more, so you would have to buy them second hand. Buy a new card in your price range, if you can afford a second hand 8600GTS you can probably afford a new HD4670, which is a vastly better card, or maybe even an HD5670 which is better still.
If you are really gonna to choose one of those then i woulda recommend 256mb 8600GTS DDR3, because it's newest fo those. And 256mb memory is enough for 15" or 17", if i have 64mb graphic ram and it works fine with 17" LCD screen.
Video memory is effectively irrelevant for the desktop. I imagine that question referred to games usage.
