Hi all,

Had an 8800GT that died recently, and knowing nothing about the latest cards I went in to maplins to get a replacecment, the guy recommended the Radeon 5450 which I took his advice on and bought. The only game I was running on the pc at the time was WoW, and I could hit full settings with the 8800. Now I have to set most settings to low to even play it.

So in the hopes of playing the new star wars mmo this December, I want to pick up a good card. I'm on a HP with AMD Phenom triple core 2.2 and 2 gigs of ram which I will be upgrading. So without spending a fortune, can I get somewhere above the 8800?

Thanks!
