I have a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 20" iMac with a ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB Graphics card (2008). I replaced the Ram about two years go (went from 2 GB to 4 GB). Everything is running great considering how old she's getting, but i'm finding the games I like to play are no longer built to run on the older video card. After doing some research, I learned that there is only one other card that is compatible with my version of the iMac: The ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro. Which I am told sports a whopping 256 MB. My question is would it be worth it to spend $200 on a video card to upgrade this machine? Specifically I am looking to run Warlords of Draenor, and am wondering if the Ram upgrade in the video card is sufficient enough to run the game.

Help a girl out?

I hate to say it, but the hd 2600 pro does not meet the minimum requirements of wod. It is a substantial improvement over the 2400 xt, but its still is a very old card and won't be able to run any modern games smoothly. It is certainly not worth 200$.
