Well it is too bad "highendsystems" took so much time to write that, because it was mostly wrong. It will not run on the 7500, the X1300 is much newer. The problem however will be that the 7500 does not have the newer technologies required in the game, not that the X1300 is much more powerful. In fact, the X1300 is not much more powerful in reality than the 7500.
The next thing she was wrong on is the port issue, the X1300 is actually one of the few cards that is available on all three ports, PCI, AGP, and PCI Express.
So basically you will need a new card to run the game, but frankly I would recommend something a little better than the X1300, you will most likely not get very good performance with it.

Both are ATI products. The 7500 is INFERIOR to the x1300.
the 7500 series typically have 64Mb DDR. The x1300 has 128Mb - 512Mb DDR2. Memory isn't The primary factor. The x1300 can deliver superior polygons, shading, frame-rates, and obviously superior GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). The problem your likely to run into if your currently using a 7500 then it's on the AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port). The x1300 seems only available in PCI Express. If you don't want to spend a gobb of money this one should do the job -->

If you do a lot of gaming, but don't want to upgrade for awhile, this may be what you're looking for -->

That is a toss up, both are bad cards. x1300 is not a gaming card and the 7500 is rather old. What game are you trying to play and what are your computer specs?

From my perspective the X1300 is Way Better

No, your video card is older than time. The X series came after the 9000 series, so WAYYYY better than a 7500

No it's not better. It may run with all the video settings turned all the way down, but not recommended.
