    only, so my 9600GT got broken , the fans don't work anymore, and i need a cheap replacement.
    i play only starcraft and pro evolution soocer,
    and watch some hd movies sometimes.
    which one should i chose from below, and will they be enough?

    512MB Gainward GF8400GS PCI-Express Video Card €34.50
    256MB Palit GF8400GS PCI-Express Video Card €28.95

    my mother board is an asus p5q

    thanks, these 2 are the ony cheap options from my local shop, are they good?

    edit: i think the 512 version only got vga port?
    will 256 mb memory enough for my needs?
