My question is which of those is the better of the two? I'm not looking for anything crazy and I don't really want to spend more than 60 bucks so with all my research this is what i've found for the price. Right now I have the 82945G Express Chipset Family with 256 mb memory so almost anything is better than what I have. Also will both of these be compatible with my motherboard?
From what I see the GeForce is the way to go but the quite heat sinks on the Radeon appeal to me. I worry about the noise of the fan.
Specs on both are as follows.
