Well I found one thats awesome. Based on the GeForce FX 5200Ultra. I just bought it from Bestbuy today...best thing of all I got a 40 dollar mail in rebate from it. The card originally cost 169.99. Is that in your price range?

Actually, a Radeon 9800 would kick the crap out of any Nvidia (no hate, I run a GeForce 4 Ti4600) card out there, and they're cheaper... Now if only they were more compatible with other hardware...

Yeah theres really no point. Unless of course you run linux, but since most people here don't even know what it is I'm pretty sure it won't help you. Just get a really fast AthlonXP, or wait for the Athlon64 to come out.
