GPU for a 9450

[stevejason]

Will be gaming at 1920 x 1200. Have 4 Gig of ram and Vista 32. Will the 9450 bottleneck the newer GPUs?

LOL, no way. OK, maybe in Flight Simulator X. Tell you what: check in Task manager. If you see it often at 100% or close, overclock it.

You really should get a Vista 64 for the newer GPUs at that resolution. That is, you'd need something like 4870X2 or whatever, and with a 32-bit Windows you'd lose access to a lot of your 4 GB of RAM.

No, slight overclock to 3.2~ 3.4 will keep up with the GTX 280 SLI'd, or the 4870X2.

Stock clock will help multi threaded games rocking, but will hamper some newer titles (with Crysis too).

OK, thanks for the suggestions.
