ATI X700, because you need PCI-express. Best Buy has it for $199.

Look into some of the nvidia based cards, then choose which combo you'd like ,there's one for every budget. I'm not gonna spec out a particular one for you because that's all depending what you're looking for, size, speed ,etc.

I'm gay for ATI :)
All of ATI's cards benchmark better than an NVidia card of the same specs.
I'd find the website, but I'm too lazy. (no it's not ati.com :D )

I've never had a problem with them, no crashes/bugs/BSOD's/etc. etc.

speaking of which - anyone have a old vid card they wanna give/sell me?

i just need something as I dont game - its gotta be a newer style card though to fit in my AGP slot :thumbsup

there was a time that ATI sucked ass (old RAGE cards). I have a Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB VGA+DVI out. It hasnt gave me any problems and plays current games very well.

I also have a NVidia 6600 GT (DDR3) 128MB... although havent had time to test it on some games.

ATI is horseshit.

Go nVidia, trust me. I've been building and supporting systems for over 5 years and no one builds and stands by their better product than nVidia does.

Get the new Geforce 6200. They can overclock 90% past default clock rates. NO JOKE. Price... about $125.

Or if you want to ramp up the performance even more...

Get the 6600 for ~$150
