the best bang for your buck is graphic cards that are called "ddr" and the most trouble free is the "nvidea" cards. best time to buy is just after xmas, cards drop down in price by 50% because of 2005 move in. getting a 256mb of ram would be very good idea too. also keep in mind if the computer is more than 5 years old getting a new card is not always going to make a big difference, proccessor speed, ram, and other factors make a big difference.
