i'm lagging a bit in fallout 3 with graphics set to ultra, and i was wondering if i need a better graphics card. i have radeon 4650 (phenom ii x3 720, 32bit win7 so im only using 3gb of ram). should i upgrade to radeon 4670? also i need to get a bigger monitor, mines only 19" and supports only up to 1440x900. what is a good size monitor to get? thanks!

hey decipherfreak, To be honest, i'd personally buy a 4850 if i was you. It all depends on your budget.. I have just purchased a 4870, i did have a GTS 250 but wanted a slight upgrade. Your ram specs look fine to be honest though. You may want to use fraps to monitor your frame-rate in the game to see what you're getting before you go ahead and upgrade. 'Bob
