thanks guys I really appreciate all the help. But one more question, what is the 533 thing? My RAM only runs at 266MHz but right on the card it says 533. what should i look for when looking for RAM.

So for instance I have a DDR2 1GB 533 and its timing is 4-4-4-12 @ 266MHz. It's 3-3-3-9 @ 200MHz. If I want new RAM, should I get RAM with CL of 3 or 4? Oh and if it says 533 why does it only run @ 266MHz?

I'm kinda confused about motherboards and RAM.

1) All it seems a motherboard does is connect things together and basically give the user ways to hook thing up tothe computer.

2) Do mother boards have speeds that would bottleneck the RAM or other components.

3) Can you have two different RAM sticks with different timings?

4) Can your GPU use GDDR3 when your RAM can only use DDR2 and DDR2 is only what your mobo can us?

That's all for now I might think of other questions later.

The price difference is about 10-90 dollars. But I couldn't get it anyway for two reasons. 1) I would need a new PSU because I don't have an 8 pin power connector hanging around and 2) I heard somewhere form someone that any CPUs on a AGP mobo would bottleneck the card. BTW I have a Intel Pentium D 3.00GHz CPU.

Well what numbers do you compare to see if the card is getting bottleneccked or not??
