Video Cards

[Lrdtalon]

Right now i have a 9700Pro AGP video card, and i am wondering if it is worth it to upgrade it to a 256 AGP card. Any suggestions are good gaming cards? i play mostly WoW. My system right now is a SOLTEK SL-K8TPro-939 Socket 939 VIA K8T800 Pro ATX AMD Motherboard, AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor, and 1 GB CORSAIR XMS 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) in 2 sticks, and of course my 9700 Pro.

Just curious what peoples thoughts are on where i shoud throw my upgrade dollars.

The amount of memory doesn't matter so much as having the power to use it. If you get a high powered 256 mb card, like a 6800 GT, or X800 XT, you'll see a very large difference. Both are basically twice as fast as your 9700 pro. But a 256 mb card just for the extra memory, like a 9800 pro 256, or a 9800 XT 256, are not much of a performance increase.
