Which Is the Better Video Card (I Figure They're Probably About the Same)? ?

they are pretty close to the same, also what you ahve to watch for is it's pretty standard for graphics cards from all companies to just overclock the same hardward and put a better fan on. so if the price is a lot more you could just do it yourself with a water cooling or better fan. it's a good thing to know

1. Which is a better Video Card for gaming? (im a n00b when it comes to this, plz help!)?

To answer your question, the X1300 is much better but... Radeon 9250's are not even in the same class as the X1300. 9250's are old!!! Do you know that there is a difference between PCI and PCI-e? PCI predates AGP and PCI-e is the new standard. Make sure that your computer (motherboard) supports the video card you are looking at before you make your purchase. The Sapphire X1300 is PCI-e (express). You can ask a new question with your computer's specs and maybe soneone can suggest a good video card for you. Good prices, fast/cheap shipping. Good luck.

5. Will A better Video Card With My AMD A64 3400 2.2ghz Make enough of a difference?

Actually yoru specs may not be the latest and hottest thing, but they will still play most games that exists at the moment. Your computer is just fine... If anything would need to be upgraded, I would say either your processor, or your graphics card depending on what its CLOCK SPEED is and RAMDAC, as well as its GPU. I would say your computer is fine, in a lot of cases you can turn off the HIGHEST detail looks in the game so that you can actually enjoy the game at a decent performance speed... Ive seen some of the BEST FASTEST computers with the LATEST GAMES, LAG all over the place... Just know that the point is... Quality in looks is always at the costs of performance (preformance=speed) And unlike video game systems, computers will always be slower because they have to multitask and they are running an operating system. Video Game systems are dedicated to specifically graphics and the game, hence the XBOX360 or PS3 etc... Try turning down your Windows XP theme settings to make the computer in general faster, then see if you can tweak speed the game.

6. More ram, better video card, or better newer processor?

you choking the system with that slow memory, use pc6400 with low latency (3-3-3-8 or 4-4-4-12 BOTH ON 1T command rate!!!!!!!!) p.s. pc3200 is 400mhz switch the motherboard, thats a budget board with onboard graphics aside that its a very decent system.. if you can.. try to get into the 1066fsb cpu or 1333 fsb cpu GL

9. Which is a better Video Card: the NVIDIA Geforce 8400M GS or ATI Radeon X1300?

Get the GeForce, will be SOOO much better than the ATI. NVIDIA makes better cards for gaming, plus tons of games are made for NVIDIA cards (you tend to see the logo, "NVIDIA, The way it's meant to be played"). To Justin V.....I am going with experience, not just some chart. The asker said he primarily uses it for games, so I gave him the best brand for gaming. From my EXPERIENCE, I have had more problems with my games when using ANY ATI card. Since I switched to NVIDIA, most if not all of my games have run smoother with having to DL less drivers.
