Which ever one is cheaper.  The human eye most likely cannot tell the minuscule differences.

What size monitor? If going with a wide green, 22" or bigger, go with the card with 1g of ram (extra ram helps alot this wide screen)

Not looking to spend much money, just want something that can handle battlefield well with out ANY lag. These two cards seem to be good for the money. Just deciding which one im having difficulty with. im using a reg size monitor the hp pavilion mx70. but like i said not looking to spend much money. however this computer does have some potential its a good motherboard with hyperthreading technology that has been actiated, it has an sata 40 gig hard drive mostly for games not storage. i want decent ram and a decently good graphics card...

Per Scooby's post... What OS, XP Vista or 7? Asking because direct X 10/11, Xp can't run (with out hacking, but I don't believe it really works) 10 or 11.

What OS you are running now, not what you might run in the future... At OS upgrade time I would think it would be time for a GPU upgrade again anyhow, GPUs are old at 6 months or less after they come out. Point being, if running XP no reason to get a card that will run dirX 10 or 11.

Then I would look at the DirX 10/11 card and forgot any card that will not run 10 or 11.
