The X1600Pro (256MB) is slower than a X850Pro (256MB) and ofcourse cheaper but it matches your system, so go for the X1600Pro.

It may be too late, but if that's the case I'll post this for future reference..

If you get an x1600pro, don't waste your money on teh 512mb version. The extra memory is a marketing gimmick, and the x850 is probably cheaper than the 512mb card, and surely performs better..
