Yes there are different brands for the HD4850, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048+106792627+1067940677&name=Radeon+HD+4850 that link shows most of the manufacturers that make the 4850. The only difference between one company to the other is usually warranty...

I say go with a Radeon 4850/4870 too.

A Phenom system should be fine if all your mom is using it for is internet and some word processing.
