Graphics card help

what about this, will this work on XP?

That's a GTS, not a GT, the GT is better (in performance) and cheaper (it's odd but it's due to it being a newer card).

They're both 512mb versions, and both have higher cpu and shader clock speeds so they are better than the 256mb version Kemp linked.

The amount of memory really only makes a difference when you run at higher resolutions and/or the game has a lot of texture/etc information which it wants to load into video memory.

Notice the 2nd one you linked, on the specifications page, shows:

Core Clock Speed 660MHz vs 600MHz Standard

Shader Clock Speed 1600MHz vs 1500MHz Standard

this means the card comes pre-overclocked which should provide a boost in performance. Granted you can do the overclocking yourself - if you feel up to learning how etc. But bear in mind overclocking can void warranties. So a pre-overclocked card (costing only £6 more) may be worth the cost in your situation.

The one Kemp linked comes at:

Core Clock Speed 600MHz

Shader Clock Speed 1400MHz

Scroll down to "XFX GeForce 8800 GT 256MB DDR3 (PV-T88P-UDF4)"

Also is this the same card you talked about?
