Is it just me or does the 4850 have GDDR5 and the 250 have GDDR3.. wouldn't that make a big difference?
No. Both use GDDR3
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

wouldn't make a huge difference anyway.  nvidia went with lower memory speeds but higher bandwidth, ati did the opposite.  the end result is nearly the same.

The one I got has GDDR3, there is a typo on the website, but their is a version available with DDR5 memory on it. Think they have mixed the 2 up.
