64 bit can be 2x faster than 32 bit. that is only if the program uses SSE though and its not always the case.

you need to upgrade EVERYTHING

i bought an evga gtx 260 and i couldnt be happier with the performance it just gets a little hot

you should totally get an ati radeon 4770 they are on a 40nm process and in your price range althuogh you will have to deal with ATI drivers great price performance ratio
