Dar friends, I need to buy a basic graphic card. Want either an 1GB GDDR2 PciE or a 512Mb GDDR3 PciE 2.0, not rated at graphic card charts (HD 2600 XT or 3650 DDR3). Please help!
Thanx a lot!!!!!

3650. Those cards can't run the resolution needed to take advantage of 1gb ram anyway. The 3650 with ddr3 will perform better.

3650 is the better of the two by some way, the rest of your rig deserves something better really though.

Isn't the 3650 a 2600 shrink with lower frequencies?
