Hi Everyone -
I am trying to do a cheap upgrade of my old computer (Dell Dimension 4550 - Intel P4 2.53GHz/1 GB Ram) so that I can play some older PC games (i.e. half life 2) and games that do no require incredible gaming rigs (i.e. Sam and Max). I am looking for the best possible card that I can buy in the under $100 range.
I know that I can handle AGP 4X and that my power supply is 250W.

You might need to upgrade your power supply, because any agp graphics cards in the list Saber gave you will be too strong for it.
