Getting a new GPU but, what to get?

[SanitY]

Hi, I'm new to the forums so I hope I'm posting in the right place.

I'm currently running a Nvidia Geforce 7300LE with 512 megs or RAM that came with my PC, and I want to upgrade but I'm not a particularly techie person so- What would be the best card for me to get for up to a max of £150?

Cheers

I take it that the £150 is to include VAT?

Here's a link to Scan's graphics cards, with a max of £150 set:

I'd go for the 7900GT or 7900GS.

yes I agree with this above its a great card and performs better than the 7900GS.

and white parts? blue cable what!? the only thing you will need to change is uninstall your Nvidia drivers and then install the ATI ones.

Are you talking about the plug that goes into the card? If so, then you have VGA, and the card has DVI. If you buy the card new (which you will) it will have an adaptor that will let you plug in the vga to dvi.

Riight, i was just wondering if it would come with the cable I need. Thanks a lot for the help people. is that extra 256 megs of ram really worth the extra £35 or so? Should I get the 256mb version?

The fact you ask the question and money is involved, points to the money being a problem so in that case no the 512mb wont offer an amazing performance boost to warrant £35 on it espcially if money is an issue.

Ok, thanks very much for the help, I'll get the 256mb version then.

this will be significantly better than the X1950 Pro
