Have a question about a model...

Hello, I am not too familiar with video cards and how to determine how good they are, so I have a question.

I saw a video card on buy.com for an excellent deal, or so it appears to be an excellent deal.

The video card model is: Visiontek Radeon X1300 XGE PCI-E 512MB DDR2 DirectX 9 Video Card

Here is the link to it;

Basically, the video card I have now is a NVIDIA 256 MB that also takes 512 MB from my RAM, which only gives my PC 1.5 GB of the RAM it's supposed to have, and I can see it taking an effect. So, I need a new video card.

So, does this one look like a good buy?

Thanks in advance!
 
its not a very powerfull card, but it will not take any of your ram. (and for 35 dollar, I think its a good deal :) )
 
Hmm, would it be powerful enough to run some of the new games coming out? Like right now, some newer games I've tested (Overlord, Two Worlds, etc) lag and they say it's because of my video card. I do the "Can you run it?" tests and they all say my PC exceeds the requirements, except for my video card.

So, do you think it'd be powerful enough for some gaming? I don't do any excessive PC gaming, maybe an hour a day max. I'd also mainly need it for Photoshop work, video editing, etc.
 
Hmm, would that one be fairly good for gaming?

Also, I noticed it has VGA. Would that enable me to hook up my PS3 to the system so that I can use my monitor for the PS3?
