will be better yes but id go for an Nvidia card, after owning an x1300 pro id never buy another ATI card, the fan was so noisey it was like a hair dryer almost, every time you start a game or something ive had a few nvidia cards and all have been great/silent


EDIT, if your getting another pc soon then i wouldnt bother, because for me if your getting a better card then id go better than what your looking at, but then theres no point because you wouldnt be getting full potential of the card because of your system spec

So i think id save the money you will spend on this and put it towards your new setup.................... just my 2cents anyway
