Hello,
I have an old ati radeon 1950 pro 256mb videocard and I would like to upgrade my card so I can use Windows 7 Aero and play some older games like World of Warcraft etc.
I am not a hardcore gamer and I don't plan to play any new games. I watch alot of movies on my 20" monitor (1680 x 1050 resolution), but now I want to start watching it on my bigger HD screen (not big only a 26 inch HDTV).
My budget is around 120 - 170 USD but I am not sure what to get.
Should I get 4850 or 4870?
Should I get 512 or 1 gig memory?
I know 4870 is better but I am not sure if I need all the features of that card..
Thanks
