You really only have 3 choices for a "performance" PCI card, & they're not very good. Here they are...good, better, best

FX5200
FX5500
FX5700/FX5700LE

Check the specs & make sure the card you get uses 128-bit memory. 64-bit cards are 30-40% slower

BTW, 256MB cards are a waste of money & are usually slower than the 128MB version of the same card...stick with the 128MB models.

Yup I own one, however newegg has stopped selling them new only refurbrished, so I'm not sure exactly how the other available cards stack up. The 5700le isn't a great card by any means but it plays all the currents games respectably. Just make sure your looking into directx 9 cards, and it'll run you about $100 for the card.
