Question [Answered] Should I keep it or return it? HELP

I have just purchased the "SAPPHIRE 100145L Radeon X1600PRO 512MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 CrossFire Video Card " I just want to know if this is a good card or not. Should I return it for a better 1? don't want to spend more then $150 PLEASE HELP

I was thinking of getting this one instead "HIS Hightech H165PRQT256GDDN-R Radeon X1650PRO 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 CrossFire Support IceQ Video Card - Retail" let me know what you think

I couldnt find the exact models in the list but maybe you should have a look at this benchmarks for two similar models:

Tom's Hardware Guide Processors: VGA Charts

It shows the second one is slightly better.

P.s. next time just post this in the other thread you made.

Is the second 1 better enough for me to go through the trouble to send the first 1 back and get the second 1?
