Okay.. Im looking for a graphics card that is an approvement over my intergrated 64 MB or bit or whatever intgrated graphics.. But I do not wish to pay over 100 dollars for a graphics card that will be useless in 6 months time... Any suggestions on a cheap card that can last that long yetis... cheap lol.. and I dont need perfect graphics.. But something better then my intergrated stuff would be good. The games I play is mostly Halo now a days if that can help narrow down decent cards. http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=865GM2-LS&class=mb That is a link to my mobo specs as well.

Yeah but you can easly do some tweaking to make the LE faster, otherwise I suggest a Geforce 3 TI500. real nice card for $46 bucks Runs all my games at a respectible framerate (UT2004, BF 1942, Halo)

I would highly recommend you to up your budget to around $120 and get a Radeon 9600 pro or XT. With DirectX 9 games that are coming out here very soon (and some out now), if you're going to be playing them, you're really shooting yourself in the foot if you get any of the above mentioned cards.

If it must be under $100, how about a plain jane 9600? Those run around $95.
