New Graphics Card Suggestions

Hi Guys,

As my computer runs fairly choppy and slow with SH3 when the time compressions is high, and especially when im in port. It also does the same with GWX, so i think its time i get myself a new graphics card.

I currently run off the integrated graphics of my Intel DG965RY motherboard.
My processors is a pentium D 3.2ghz duel core and I have 6gb ram (even though windows only detects 3.5gb).

I was thinking about getting the PNY Nvidia GeForce GT 240 1GB GDDR3 Graphics Card. The 512mb version is ranked at #34 on this list: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166596

I was wondering if anybody else has this graphics card, or if anybody knows how well this graphics card will improve performance on my computer?

Im after completely smooth game play at maximum time compression, and when attacking ships in port with GWX or other mods installed to increase ship traffic.

Thanks all.
