Have 2 Dell PC's at home .... will be keeping the newest one and putting more RAM in it upgrading to W7 etc.

I have a choice of 2 known working graphics cards ... a Geoforce 7300LE and an ATI Radeon X1300

Which of these 2 cards is the better to keep ? ... I suspect it's the ATI ... but thought it best to ask.​

Well... It's such a close call between them both, but I'd go for the Radeon X1300.

Mind you, that's just a personal preference I have for ATI/AMD devices. The reality of the matter is that they're both almost evenly matched in their performance, in some cases the 7300 would be superior, in others the X1300 would be.

A basic X1300 would be superior to the 7300L

Here's some useful links for you to help you decide:-

If you have the 7300GT you are better off the Radeon X1300

7300gt Clearly beats it hands down

I have the Geforce version which probally is better then the one's they tested

It's the 7300 LE (not GT) vs the plain x1300

X1300 beats it hands down.
