hey what is your budget??

Around $100

9800gt/4850 if lucky. GT240/5670

If in the US you can look on the second hand market for better deals but you have to know how to shop to find the best deals and avoid rip offs.

thanks
I will look at those cards

I think if you want to play games at 1440x900 the hd 4670 will be good for you....
it's really great card compatible with your system too...

check the whole list...



If you want dx 11 support go with hd 5670..

Some of those cards are very overpriced. I only paid $80 for one of my 9800gt 1gb.

I know they are but some are on acceptable rates...going with them is good choice

Depending on the cooler and quality of the card it may be worth the expense.

Its a good thing that I keep people guessing but that aside I only buy for quality and on the second hand market. How else would I land a XFX 780i for next to nothing with all but two of the accessories for $38.77. Then I landed a EVGA 8800gtx for $32 but that needed a cooler and 3 caps. I am also a collector of cards and have bought many over the past two years. I like my 55nm 9800gt 1gb.

even 9800gt is getting old don't you think maybe its the time for you to add one more in your collection...lol
