The 9600 GSO will be almost twice as fast as the 4650 according to this review, http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/HIS/HD_4650_iSilence/6.html

But you dont seem to care much about speed, plus I'm betting the 9800 uses more power, which is a concern with your power supply.

Either is a good choice but if you get the 4850 pay more like $50 for it like this one

Myself I'd go with the GSO, but you cant go wrong.

There is a diffrence between this 4650 and the other one?

This is the kinda stuff that confuses me.

The other one had 1Gb RAM, my linked has 512. But on a card this low end theres no need for 1GB RAM, so I'd save the 12 bucks.

 

And I retract my recommendation of the GSO, it requires a 6 pin power connecter and you're definitely not gonna wanna mess with that, too much power draw..the 4650 will just plug into your graphics slot and thats it.
