Hello Guy's,
It's one of those 'whats the best' type questions i'm affraid

...a card with 1gb onboard ram, clock speed at 600mhz,GDDR2.....or a card with just 500mb onboard ram but with a higher clock speed 750mhz,GDDR3....which one would be best for gaming?

Thanks

Probably the second DDR2 is old hat. Whats the model numbers as there are other factors to consider as well.

Well to be honest i'm looking for a card with 1gb memory and relatively cheap......and very quiet! I did have my eye on the:

1GB XFX Radeon HD4650 ( i like the passive cooling)

My current card is a sapphire 4670

that's a pointless change in card. just stick with what you've got unless you're having issues with it :)
 
That would be a waste fo cash to be fair.

If you know how you could always buy a third party passive cooler for the 4670, they produce little heat as it is.

Higher memory doesn't always mean better ;)
 
Depends what you want it for, gaming I presume? Have a look here and buy anything above your 4670 (or a 5xxxx series). Keep in mind your PSU limitations (if you have any).
