Video Card and Memory
 

I had a Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB video card and 1.5 GB of memory, I was getting bad FPS and framerate lag and wanted to upgrade my system. I bought a Radeon HD 2400 Pro 512MB and noticed 0% difference. I also bought 4GB of memory but it didn't fit in my computer. So my question is can anyone tell me a good video card for around 100-150$ that I will notice a big difference from my old 256MB and where can I find 2GB DDR1 RAM?

I've been running an 8800GT for nearly a year and I can strongly recommend it. It's no longer the best around, but it should fit quite snuggly into that budget now.

DDR1 RAM? Not a clue, but you may want to look into upgrading your motherboard/CPU if it's an option.

PS: I also upgraded from a similar system.

This should be better than that 2400.

WoW is more dependent on your CPU than it is on your video card. You may wish to look into upgrading your processor.

Agreed, throw a good CPU at it as well.

I recently got an AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core 5000+ and a GeForce 9600GSO. Things run wonderfully.

Oh and if you're on AGP still, don't bother till you can get a motherboard with PCIe.

as a pc engineer totaly agree!

I have AMD Athlon X64x2 6400 Black Edition
and 1x Nvidia 8800GT Ultra (Asus) in mine and i can run 2 versions of wow simultaniosly at 60fps constant no problem :)
