[lovely?]

how much are you looking to spend, because both of those cards rank among the lowest available at the moment. you could actually spend about 50$ and get a decent card for the AGP 8X slots, like this video card: ATI radeon 1600pro

I already have the 2 cards just want to know what is best to use, and I can play company of heroes on high settings on the radeon card, tnks.

128MB? Probably not.

Also depends on rest of your rig.
