If it is for your pc i would take the 7000. But what is your cpu?

nyprospect · Aug 21, 2003, 10:11 PM

You should never use on board anything. (With a very few exceptions) Take the video card.

If you dont play much games, then forget the vid card, get the RAM to speed up your boot and increase performance in browsing the internet, or such things.

You dont need a good video card to browse the web.

I wouldn't recommend the 7000 to anyone who wants to play very many games, going from onboard to 7000 isn't really an upgrade. I'd at least go for a 7200.

depending on the speed of the Duron, it could be upgraded also for around $45-50

...... if you using some graphics (doing graphics...)..... it's hard to say... I'd go 256mb if your not doing anything graphics intensive....

I'd go with the memory it'll be better for the overall system, and like Cyborg said the 7000 wouldn't be much of a step up from the on-board.
