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

1800+ @ 8.5 x 200MHz
768MB PC3200
Asus A9550 128MB/128-bit

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Ti4200's GPU is outdated, as it doesn't support DX9 effects...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...

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

not true, the 6200 will sometimes out do an x600 radion. the 6200 turbo cache is crap though.

And what did he say he was looking at?

"Nvidia 6200 w/turbo cache"

:-)
