The 6800GS is better than the 7300. Why would you spend money to downgrade your video card?

Also, you won't see any difference with 2gb of RAM (if you currently have 1gb) using your current video card.
Tis true.

If you have 512 get the 2gbs definently. If you have 1 gb already you decide...but I'd go w/ ram.

Are you running Vista or x64 XP.  If so, then that's probably why.  If you're running regular x32 XP, then I envy you, lol.  I heard it was supposed to start being unstable at 4GB.  I couldn't test it myself as my motherboard only accepts up to 2GB.

Don't get the 7300.
It's old, and you won't be happy with it.

If you want to upgrade your video card, at least go for something recent, like a 7900, or even an 8xxx series card.

Just please don't buy a 7300.
