    256 isnt as HUGE an amount of RAM as it would of been 6 months ago. Id get abt a 32meg card aswell for top performance. Loads of games require a card greater than 8 neway

    Short answer: you won't see any improvement in games at all.
    You might see minimal improvement when dealing with large files, photoshop etc.
    I'd spend the money on a geforce mx.
