Vid card upgrade suggestions?

[TurboMedic]

Hey guys, I'm looking for a good, reasonably priced vid card, that has reasonable memory for mild gaming. I'm using a 7300LE GeForce, and just want something a bit more robust. I don't have any hardcore gaming tendencies, just if I get bored I'll play a bit....Would the higher MB 7300's be a noticeable upgrade (ie: 128 or 256MB onboard?)? My card has 256MB shared, but I have 2 gig or RAM (soon 4) so is it a big deal to have on board mem? What is nowadays considered a great brand (ATI, Asus, etc) with their cards? Thanks........I'll be looking to sell the 7300 too if anyone cares....

So I am going to assume you have PCI-E
For a decent reasonably priced one I would suggest a 7600gt
EVGA 7600gt
There it is at memory express, quite cheap. I have a 6600gt and am still running most newer games on quite good settings.

yes, PCIe

PS compare the memory bandwidth #'s between the 7000 series. The 7900 is a substantial gain in performance. So much so that I wouldn't bother with anything less with the 7900's being so cheap now.

4x as much for he 7900 vs the 7600.....impressive
