    Incorrect, well somewhat.

    The 1550 and the 1300 have cards for PCI and PCIe

    Main reason why they do this, some people are still using PCs that only have PCI.

    Only difference in the 2 (PCI & PCIe) is the "backwards" bridge hardware within the PCI, since you need to be running it at X4, rather than X16.

    But the speed really doesnt matter when it comes to players looking for a graphics card just for MMORPGs, it would matter if you were concerned about Benchmarking or FPS.

    Please put forward some research before posting, its really easy to do. Afterall, you are on the internet

    Id advise getting a new computer before getting that x1550 or the phsx, but get the x1550 if youre gonna get a new card.

    And why is that?

    He says he is looking for a better graphics card for MMORPGs.

    ATM, with the PC specs I have read about. He does not need a new PC for what he wants to do.

    My son can use a Dell 2400 with 1GB memory for most MMORPGs out there. ATM, it only has a ATI 9250 in the PC. So he is limited in what games he can play by the shader tech within the card. I am going to place a X1550 or X1300 in it here soon. So then, he will be Up-to-date. Even with 10.0.

    I hate messengers really, cause of this one I got that links me to the main office.

    The X1550 is good, but remember this. Yes a fast memory clock might sound sweet, but how hot do thing get where the PC is? Read some reviews about the card. It has a decent fan from what I read. BUt why would you want that? Your only playing MMORPGs right?

    Its good for FPS and benchmarking, but you really dont need to worry about that. with all the pros and cons, the X1300 looks to be what you really want.

    Personally, I want this one graphics card that costs over $2k. BUt its only sold to gaming developers. Its basically a huge graphics card in a box that links to more than one PC through firewire. Its really sweet, but my wife would kill me....... it would take away from her shoppin cash.

    PCI, unless they have different upgrade models, but the ones I have come across are all PCI.

    4 gigs? Hmmmm, dual channel? See Vash, like I siad, sometimes they have models that have different set ups.

    Dual channel is nice to have in a PC. ID you cant afford ones that take DDR2 memory, then get a PC with dual channel capability.

    Vash, if your is like my son's, it has 2 slots and max it can hold is 1 gig. BUt thats still sufficient with a decnt graphics card, which your looking for now.

    his not lazy. if he was lazy he wouldn't help people all over internet.

    if people work in computers , it doesnt mean that there lazy.

    What the heck? A Jobs a job, you do what your good at, just because hes sitting doesn't mean hes not doing anything, if everyone worked at construction sites then society would be doomed.

    LMAO, you assume alot.

    I do sit a lot, but I also work out alot. Like I siad before, I do Judo, Kickboxing, and Jeet. I go to the dojo 3 times a week to spar and practice for amateur events in kickboxing. I do the events 1 time every 3 months.

    1 warning last 8 weeks. You love to bring that up, but you never say much of anything else.

    You dont really know much about PC. All you do is regurgitate information you find or get from your peers. BTW, ATI Catalyst Control Center has setting for AA and AF. They have variable slider going from X2 to X8 and other options as well,and yes it can be turned off, its called "let the application decide".

    Anyone with a brain can find this out by looking it up. BUt you dont, nor do you try to research before you assume.

    You are right though, by the minor "search" you have done about PCI graphics cards, X1300 and X1550 are the best ones you will find, but I think someone has said that already, without the hesitation.

    You claim alot but deliver very little. Care to show us the benchmark scores on these cards. I mean all of the ones in this quote above. Like I said research before opening your mouth.

    ONE MORE THING!!!!! My son's Dell 2400 ( P4 2.22Ghz, 1 GB memory, ATI Radeon 9250 256 MB pci with shader 1.2) runs GW with 20-30 fps on full setting including bloom. GW was built to be PC friendly too, you would have known this if you just researched.

    You have not said much. Just regurgitation. Please try to bring something to the table that isnt a repeat.

    Since you like to stereotype and assume. Construction workers are failures at anything else. Just the ex-jock from school who wanted to be "the star". What they cant solve with brain, they "mule out" with muscle........ just a bit of typical stereotyping that is said about most construction workers.

    Sorry about that. From all that I have gathered about your PC, and you have lagg. You might need to clean things up more than get a new card.

    Try the software I have posted previously, first. They might help you out and you wouldnt need to use that $$ on parts. But if it doesnt, try the X1300. And if that fails, it may be just a problem caused by location.

    1. try the TuneXP 1.5: follow the documentation instructions
    try the WinCleaner Memory Optimizer: set it for every 120 min, maximize your memory, and minimize it. Keep it running.

    if that dont work

    2. Then go for the card, but keep those 2 programs, they help out in the longrun.
