| 712341 | 2008-10-15 00:14:00 | Looking at upgrading for a better gaming experience.. Will I notice a big difference when playing WoW between these two cards? I'll also be upgrading to a higher power PSU and moving from 4GB DDR2-667 to 4GB DDR2-800. Anything I should know before I start? |

| 712342 | 2008-10-15 00:26:00 | A difference i would imagine, not sure on WoW but on other FPS games As for the RAM i dont think you would notice that much depending on Latancy/Speed of the new ram compared with old What Brand ? |

| 712343 | 2008-10-15 00:27:00 | The RAM won't make much difference at all. Pointless really. As for WOW, its not a very demanding game. So no, not for that game. Recommended Specifications Windows® System 2000/XP OS: - 3D graphics processor with Vertex and Pixel Shader capability with 128 MB VRAM, such as an ATI Radeon X1600 or NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT class card or better |

| 712344 | 2008-10-15 00:32:00 | Well I get about 25FPS in WoW at the moment, I hope that'll get better. But yeah, might notice a bigger difference in other games I guess. Current ram is mixed up A-Data and something, not matched or anything just found it and shoved it in.. 2x512MB, 1x1GB and 1x2GB. I plan on moving to 2x2Gb DDR2-800 Corsair XMS2 CAS4 at 4-4-4-12. I don't expect a huge gain from that, but it'll look nicer through the case windows! |
