what exactly does antialiasing and anistropic filtering do,i have reguarly used them in games and programs,but they seem to make the program really work,ok i only have a nvidia 6600(256mb),just upgraded from a 6200(128mb) but these settings i normaly dont apply unless the game is something like castle wolfenstein or need for speed underground
i have got my eye on a ati x1950(512mb) which is on offer at overclockers.uk,this card has a massive 36 pixel pipelines and a 1.4ghz memory clock,all for a bargain price of £125
cheers

antialiasing can be used by your graphics card to make the jagged lines in computer graphics appear smoother without having to increase your resolution. It essentially recalculates and blends jagged lines with their surroundings, and can be applied to either 2D or 3D graphics
anisotropic filtering is a method of enhancing the image quality of textures on surfaces that are far away and at high angles... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_filtering

hi this article explaing AA & AF http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2005/07/04/aliasing_filtering/1.html
PS: more and more Ram doesnt solves the problem, try looking through the type of chips they are using, memory interface and bandwidth and calculate the timings. Do the maths.
