WORTHLESS Your video playback (dvd player, windows movie files, etc) will most likely be choppy to some degree. Gaming (today's top retail games, World of Warcraft, Battlefield 2, Call of Duty 2, etc) forget playing them.

These last three, there's the 128mb memory differece, which affects resolution and speed. The Geforce 7300 would be best if you're going to play games, otherwise either of the 256mb chips, and even the 128mb ati should be plenty for web surfing, video playback, digital camera/photo editing (recommend 256mb for this though, as pics and editting software use lots of memory the more files you have open)

It totally depends on what you're planning on doing with the computer. For example, if you're playing very graphics-intensive games, like World of Warcraft, or EverQuest, you will notice a definite difference, and the more expensive graphics card is well worth the price. However, if you're just doing some internet surfing, or playing games like online spades, I wouldn't bother with the more expensive ones.

id go with the radeon x1400 so it can handle all of today's and probably tomorrows games.but the x1300 i think would be a little weak for games.
