other good choices would be the 9600gso: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...

and the HD3850: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...

both for $110 and they would both run it perfectly as well.

I'm not sure what an AMD 3200 is, but your board has a PCI-express slot, right? If it has AGP, you're gonna have to rethink your card choices.

didnt even notice that. jam has a very good point. if ur system only has an agp slot u will have to rethink ur choices. also ur choices will be far more limited. let us know and we can give u some recommendations.

If you have an AGP slot, the Radeon 26xx is a good choice and pretty cheap too.
