I currently have an onboard videocard(Intel MB). My system has 512MB
RAM, 2.26GHz CPU. I was interested in an ATI board, I believe. I do
some video editing and very little gaming, and then 4-8 different
applications running. I'm looking to spend around $100, hopefully
less? Looking on pricewatch.com this seems feasable, but maybe I'm not
looking at the best price/performance card.
I was looking at the 9250, 9550, and 9600 (pro?). I'm not sure what the
differences are, but I was thinking I should get 256MB on the card but
not sure about the rest.
And then I was thinking of going with Saphire. Or are there other
manufacturers that would be better, or are they okay?
Things run okay now on my system, but I was thinking a video card would
speed up the video editing, and then other things(games, whatever) as
well.
Any suggestions welcomed!
thanks, bruno
