Reply: (edit)I have the Asus A9550GE/TD/128 & it's a great budget card...overclocks well too (if you're into that sorta thing). For $51, you can't beat it

Reply: (edit)X300 is PCI-e, so that's out because I doubt your motherboard has PCI-e slot necessary for it. The 9200's horsepower is quite lacking... Ditto with the 6200... Ti4200's GPU is outdated, as it doesn't support DX9 effects... I probably wouldn't go with any of these cards. I'd take a Radeon 9550 128-bit or a 9600 Pro. You're talking around $60 or $80 respectively... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814149002 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102408

Reply: (edit)any radeon between the 9500pro series to the 9800xt series will be good. You can be amused by the simplest of things.The smartest people in the world, over-look the smallest objects. War does not determine who is right, only who is left.

Reply: (edit)"any radeon between the 9500pro series to the 9800xt series will be good" But avoid cards with "SE" in the model number. Verify that whatever card you buy uses 128-bit memory, not slower 64-bit Asus A7N8X-X

Reply: (edit)And what did he say he was looking at? "Nvidia 6200 w/turbo cache" :-) "President Bush is doing everything he can to lower gas prices, including...making the oil companies so rich that maybe they'll get sick of money."
