    I would like to know if an x1400 ati card with 128 Mb is enough for overall good use. Including for instance photoshopping ...

    Its good for photoshop etc, and is not to bad for games.

    If you do want to play games, I'd get an X700 or ideally an X1600 if I were you.

    X1600 is a very good card

    For photoshoping the X1400 is more then enough in most cases. Even integrated graphics normally do quite well when it comes to photoshop. For games... it's not a bad card... and will do medium settings on most games fine, but it isn't your top of the line card.

    Anyone play WoW with this? If so, what res/quality still maintains a good framerate (45+)?

    X1400 will play WoW at max settings at a very nice frame rate

    We're getting a lot of these threads "is it good enough," etc. Please look at the guides at the top of the forum, thanks.
