A card of this caliber at $99... I remember when Sims 2 first came out, I bought my first ever hardware upgrade for my now 5-year-old HP with 256MB of RAM and integrated 800 series Intel GPU (and not an AGP or PCI-E to be found). It was an Nvidia GeForce FX5200 256MB, PCI edition: $99. I salvaged two 512MB sticks of RAM from a similar, older (and dead) computer I had sitting around to help out.
I knew enough about computers to know it would work, and it did; and it made Sims 2 playable at reasonable framerates, though it still skipped here and there. Heck, it even played UT2004 at good framerates.
On a 1024x768 15" LCD monitor that came with the computer. Back then, I didn't know sites like this even existed.
It still serves EVE Online playing purposes to this day at playable framerates (read: 10fps average, OK for a MMORPG where twitch-gameplay is not necessary and with my less-than-stellar reflexes wouldn't have made a difference anyway, except visually) until I graduate from high school and have time to get a part-time job to buy something a little more recent. This card sounds to be a good idea for that project.
