Well my friend, I did some research and found out that they are pretty close to a tie. This is because in some ways the radeon is better and in other ways it's not. I have some info on the 280 right here: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3930709&CatId=3669 and some info on the radeon right here: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3947461&CatId=3670 Just scroll down and see the specs. In one big way that the 280 is better than the radeon is that the 280 has exactly ywice the memory as the radeon but it's your choice. I most likely get the radeon. If this isn't helpful enough, contact a professional at logan@tiger.tv

The Intel865G is integrated graphics meaning it is part of the motherboard. This type usually comes with low end computers and will be very limited as to what games it can play. The 6800 is a separate card that plugs into the motherboard and will provide grater graphics power.

What is the best video card you can get for your computer ram-2GB DDR2 - processor Intel Pentium D 3.00 GHz - motherboard GIGABYTE 945PL?

just as long as its compatible with the slot you have pci,pci-e, agp According to the motherboards specs (quick Google) it has a pci-e and 3 pci slots. you can get something such as the radeon 7970, but with the other specs of the computer i'd recommend something along the lines of a radeon 4870 (or nvidia equivalent).
