After selling my first home built pc and being on a 3-4 year hiatus. I've built a new rig and the onbard vidoe is not cutting it. So I need some suggestions on a new card. I'm not a hardcore gamer but I do indulge myself when something catches my eye. My previous card was a Geforce FX5200 which handled everything I threw at it(not that I threw much). These are my requirements, but I am open to suggestions.(just make sure the suggestions comes with a reason and not the "just cause" response)

preferably NVIDIA
Dual monitor
HD video out
play old & recent games (I'm not too demanding on if the card manhandles what I throw at it...would be nice but my pocket cant handle that)
Enough onboard memory that it wont jack my system for it
Vista ready
Under $100
PCIx16

Thanks in advance

At this time there are lots of mid-low end cards that are Vista (Aero) capable that fall within your price range. However, if you are buying a card so close to Nvidia's launch of their DX10 ensemble you might as well wait till after the launch (which should be sometime before the 20th of April) & grab one of those cards.

The 8500GT is rumored to be priced between $79 and $99 & it is expected to occupy the current 7600GS' spot.

Give it up for MC Rove

i bought an x1050 for an overpriced 100$(probly get a better ati for same price) and its served me well enough but evryone else says its not a good card for gaming their suggestions r probably more educated, im just throwin it out there
