Post 7300GS or 7300LE?

Hi,

This is my system config:

1. CPU: Intel 3.2 GHz EM64 (64 bit enabled, but not Extreme Edition)
2. Ram: 1GB DDR2 667 MHz, Single Channel of course
3. Mother Board: ASUS P5RD2 VM Motherboard
- 800MHz FSB
- 16x PCI Express Graphics Slot is present
4. 80GB 7200 rpm Harddisk

Presently I have a GeForce 7300LE 512MB PCI Express Card.
(Note: 512MB supported when system has 1GB Ram, which I
fortunately do)

My vendor is willing to change the card, and now I need to decide
between the following:

----- 7300GS 512MB --------- and ---------7300LE 512MB-------

Considering the rest of my system, how much will be the performance
gain in graphics if I go for the GS version?

Will it be drastically better, substantially better, or minimally better?

And finally, will the GeForce 7600GS 256MB be better than both of
these?

Thanks a lot.

The 7600GS 256MB is far superior then the 7300. I dont know why you have a 512MB 7300, but it doesnt utilize anywhere near that much because the card is a low-end card.

By how much margin is the 7300GS better than the 7300LE?

Let's say I have to pick between these two. Will the 7300GS
be a whole lot better than the 7300LE?

7300GS is better than 7300LE by a small margin

7600GS is about 2 or 3 times faster than 7300GS

So, the best choice for you is 7600GS

If you only want to get a 7300, then the GS would be better, but I would pay much to upgrade from the LE.

The 7600GS would be much better, and actually allow you to play games decently.
