What are the best graphics cards that is compatible with a Compaq Presario SR1303WM?

[Phantom Stranger]

Wanting to fix up old PC for the kids, but not sure which card I should get. The comp has 2GB RAM and a MGE LC-B450E PSU. I know it takes an AGP card. Just wanting to know if there is anywhere possible I could find a list of compatible cards, or if you guys could give me a few quality ones to choose from? Since this is an oldie, I don't want to pay more than $50 on one. Thank you for your time.

Are you sure that's the right model of PC? From what I've seen, the motherboard only supports 1GB of RAM, and you have 2 installed. Is it using all of it or is half just ignored?

Try looking around for cards in the GeForce 9000 series, I had a 9400GT which ran most games (especially when I OC'd it) quite well. You should be able to find one for about $40

I'm not really sure if it uses 2GB, but I've read on several boards that it can. It does show that much is there, but like I said, not sure if it is being used.

What other specs do you want? I included my power supply in original post (450) and the computer's model number too (SR1303WM). Any other specs, please let me know which ones. Thanks.
