I am looking at changing my wife's video card. The Computer has a Gforce 7300 video card. I am looking at 2 9400 Gforce video cards. The first card has 512k of memory and the price is $49.99. The other card has 1gig of memory and the price is $64.99. I am leaning towards the card that has 1 gig of memory. It will give better perform ace for playing Wow.

I wouldn't think that having 1 GB of memory would help in this situation, since only the fastest 3D games (with high res textures) would require 1 GB, and you'll probably need a faster card to be able to get smooth framerates anyway
Going by the Newegg prices, you can get a 9500 GT for $50 (512 MB), or if you are looking to spend $60+, a 9600 GT, which has much better 3D performance (about 70% faster than the 9500 GT) - it's currently $99.99 at Newegg but has a $30 mail-in rebate offer. The Radeon HD 4670 for $79.99 will be faster than the 9600 GT, but it won't play anything the 9600 GT won't play (although ATI cards offer better Blu-ray playback acceleration). WoW won't require much in terms of GPU power anyway (9500 GT should do fine at even 1600x1200, provided you don't use AA).
