[FONT="]Ok so my current graphics cards is a nvidia 8200 1 GB. It has lasted me a short time but it's not really a card made for gaming and I'm afraid that when Skyrim is released in November I won't run. With my amateur knowledge of computers and others help I believe the rest of my system is ok (Will post that at end. any comments on future improvements would be appreciated) and that only my card really needs the upgrade now.

So the cards I have been considering are the GeForce GT 430 and the AMD Radeonâ„¢ 6570. Really my question here is which card would you prefer for both performance and money (I'm a student so budget is low) and are both these cards better than the geforce 8800GT?[/FONT]
[FONT="]Second question is how these cards will work with the 8200. This graphics card is and on-board card and I have been told that when the card is upgraded the 8200 will have to be disabled or not set as default. Is this true or is it possible to have both cards working at the same time? [/FONT]
[FONT="]System[/FONT]
[FONT="]Windows 7 32 bit
Athlon IIx4 2.9GHZ
4GB Ram DDR2
Geforce 8200 shared memory of 1GB
(Have I missed anything important?)

Thanks for reading.
p.s I'm paying someone for the upgrade. I'm not doing it.
