Well, I am sure both would do fine. I run 5 copies of wow simultaniously on an ATI 4670, they are all at max settings, high resolution (low ress for the other 4 but high settings). My video card is only at 60% capacity. The ATI4850 is light years ahead of my model so you should do terrific with it.


However, my CPU which is the same as yours is giving me insane problem. I had to overclock it by 1.2ghz, but ti still gives me problems. Its at 100% always and causes the game to lag.

2 gb of ram is WAY yoo low. You need at least 3.2 under XP, more if under vista. That 2gb of ram will kill your performance. (i have 4gb and get 700mb left after everything is open).



EDIT: I noticed you said you will upgrade your rams by 2gb. If it brings the total to 4gb, you shold do fine. The CPU is gonna be the real bottleneck.
