Ok so i just built a computer here are the specs:
AMD Athlon 6000 3.0GHZ
4GB DDR2 RAM
XFX Geforce 8600 GT 512MB DDR2
320Gig HD(not that it matters)
800W Power supply
My motherboard is obviously compatible with PCIe video cards.
Windows XP(So my last gig of ram isnt really being used :-/)
So heres the question:
I like my 8600GT card but its not playing COD4 as well as i thought it would. it was about $60 bucks so really its not a bad card for that price.
I found two cards I like but i need some help deciding.

Which would you prefer?
I'm not new with computers. But i am kind of new to all of this new video card technology.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
Also if you have any other suggestions for boosting performance, feel free to give me your thoughts.
