looking forward to buy a new graphic card, 7300GT but something has been BUGGING me.
one with 128MB DDR3 memory and another with 256MB DDR2 memory
the problem is that both almost same price, which one should i choose?
im going to use this graphic card to play F.E.A.R., Splinter Cell, Quake 4, Oblivion, WoW etc.

my processor is sempron 2600+ oced @ 2.0ghz.

Thanks.

Problem is there are no 256meg DDR3 7300GT cards available in the US. I have a Leadtek 7300GT DDR3 in a system using a A64 3500+ @ 2.5GHZ, 1.5Gig ram. The card is overclocked to 625MHz core and 1610MHz memory. Gets around 12,000 3DMark 03 and 72,000 in Aquamark 3. It's a good card for the money. Tiger has it for about $80 and Newegg for $84. I don't think you'll be unhappy with the card.
Regards
Bill

Edit: Newegg is up to $90 and it doesn't currently appear on Tiger's site

I would be far more concerned with that part of the post.

If you're going to play those games, you'd be better off buying a 7600GT for not much more $$

so if i get 7600GT, will my processor become bottleneck?

Hell no. Your cpu would be fine with somthing even better, like a 79xx.
