2-has the palit gt 240 sonic 1gb gddr5 has enogh memory clock to utilize all its 1gb framebuffer or due to slow memory clock it will only use 512 mb?

Well, the GT 240 GDDR5 performs like a 9600GT, which performs slightly faster than the HD 4670, which performs the same as an HD 5570, but I think it'd be slightly noticeably faster in games. The GT 240 might use all of the 1GB, at higher resolutions possibly, but the most important thing is that it's the GDDR5 version.

Is there a reason you asked for that particular card of that particular brand? Anyway to answer your questions;
1) Not really.
2) The card is not intended, nor is it powerful enough, to be used resolutions where more than 512mb of memory will be useful.

The HD5670 actually would be an ok upgrade although not huge. Personally I probably would look for something in the HD5750/HD4850/HD4770/GTS 250 area if at all possible.

Will molex to pci-e power connector will work.?


In theory, yes. But as the other members have pointed out, the PSU needs to be able to support the 4850. The fact that it doesn't have any 6 pin PCIe connectors, doesn't sound like it's a high end PSU. That's the reason for the make/model questions.

Yes anything like antec will be great as it will be available in my city....Plz any antec models....Sorry palituse for using this thread for hd 4850....Sorry if my english is bad.....I am 13 years old and still struggling for good english...Again sorry

Like I said earlier anything above 400w should be fine. Even the 380w Earthwatts should be fine as well I believe.

I wasn't being brand specific between the different series of cards. I was pointing out a low price on a 5770, compared to the normal ~$105 - $125 4850.

ok.

If I was shopping for a 4850 with a $130 budget, I would likely pick a good quality 4850 (Sapphire or EVGA). But if I could get a 5770 within my budget, I would consider buying the lower priced powercolor.

That's just how I look at it. To each their own.
