ive been waiting months for this upgrade as it is. i dont really want to wait any longer... and i really cant afford to get a 1900XT, im only going to be running at 1440x900 or 1280x1024 max is there much difference at theses low res's?

EDIT: could i get away with just using the ram i have now??? then i could afford the beter card... or will the 1gb ram slow it down??
