Hello,

I have a system with a evga 8600 gt 256mb ddr3 card. A friend recently upgraded and gave me his evga 9400 gt 1gb ddr2 card. Will the 9400 gt be more capable just because of more memory or would sticking with the 8600 gt be more advised just because it is ddr3?

Thanks. I was going to stick it in my HTPC. I'll stick with the 8600 and sell the 9400. My buddy gave it to me because I was the one that installed his new one and he wouldn't really know a crap one from a good one other then price. I took it but didn't notice the "DDR2" on it till I got home.
