Which would be better for running a game like guild wars? A GeForce FX 5900 with 128MB or a GeForce FX 5500 with 256MB?

depends on what the rest of ur specs look like, CPU, mobo, ram..etc.

Umm... ram is 384 and I'm not sure about the CPU or the mobo.

384 is on the low side, 512 is recommended now-a-days...how many Mhz/Ghz is ur CPU?

the 5900 is not to far away from the vastly superior 6600GT which is the best bang for buck according to the reviews

I can easily get more 128MB more of RAM. My CPU's got 1100 Mhz. I think that's pretty bad. How can I get that up?

That depends on what kind of motherboard you have? If you don't have the manuals, you should be able to find out how fast of a CPU it will support on the manufacturer's website.

I used Belarc Advisor to find out what kind of computer I really have.

the 256 Ram doesn't matter, really.

If you must choose from either of those, get the 5900.

If you wish a similar priced alternative, I'd recommend the 6600GT as someone already recommended, the X700pro AGP (MAKE SURE IT'S AGP, not PCI-express), or the 9800 pro (last resort).
