I'd get something like the Radeon 9800 PRO 128. If you're an nVidia person, just get the equivilent to 9800 PRO. Bang for the buck, it's the card I'd get if I had that money. You should be able to pick it up for about what you have right now. Make sure it's a pro card though, as it has 8 pipelines for streaming the information, and is 8x agp (but also available for a pci slot). It's a great card and very fast, specially for the money. Might wanna check eBay, assuming that you don't mind second hand items. My best friend bought a 9700 PRO off eBay and has had no problems with it at all. If I were you, I'd upgrade your ram too, go with 1gb, that'll help you out a lot for gaming. _________________ All gave some, some gave all.....Lest we forget that war produces veterans, wounded both mentally and physically, and it is our job to help them now, as they have already helped us all in ways we will never know, and in ways that we take for granted every day.

IF i were you, id get a 6800 Nvidia card, i think you could probably pick one up on youre budget, either that, or a ATi X700, which you can get for around the same price, and both can run any gane currently thrown at them, but bear in mind, BF2 is a very RAM dependent game, and no matter what kind of GFX card you have, it wont run well on full settings unless your comp hqs at least 1GB of RAM _________________ www.jerseyhacker.co.uk
