Assuming your power supply can handle one.
This card isn't quite as good as those but is a very good deal for the money after the rebate;

DDR5 that was good card but I think it will be bottleneck to my current pc, isn`t it?
proc: intel E2200 2.2 GHz
mobo: asus p5kpl am se
ram: 2x1 pc 6400
psu: 450 watt

so any other choice please?

I would probably avoid the HD4870 on a 450w PSU of questionable quality. The other 2 should be alright though.

The speed of the ram on your video card has nothing to do with your processor. As I said in your other thread you should really OC that CPU. If you do so these cards will be fine for you.

why, is hd4870 takes much power?

 

[jyjjy]

Yes, the HD4870 uses a lot of power, about 50% more than the two other cards I linked.
