7000 is NOT a good card. I have one and kinda regret it, it was cheap and fun to see how high I could OC it though.

Pretty lousy card, i have one and it gets less thank 1500 3d marks on my 2200+. Id say get a 7500 at the least, the 7000 just aint worth the cash, no matter how little.

thank you sounds like you just saved me some frustrations also what is this 3dmarks everybody keeps posting about? Im totally new to oc'ing but in the last few days ive learned a little bit my celeron 566 is running at 943mhz very stable. thanks for the help

Ati Sapphire 7500 64mb with sdr agp video card/adapter /with tv-out and dvi..$59.00 is it worth it or do you think I can find cheaper?

hmm, that looks about right, try to ge teh DDR version, that SDR card is gunna be awfuly slow, that or get an 8500 AIW, for 150 :-\
The new Radeon VE Is pretty good, and pretty cheap also, its faster than teh card u mentioned, ill see if i can find a link for it, Rage3d had a review , check it out

It would be well worth the extra 15 bucks for a 7500. I am very happy with my "built by" Radeon 7500. A very good value for the price. I have not ran into a game yet that this card can not handle. It would be perfect for your low end system. If you can afford 70 bucks you may consider a 8500 but don't go any higher until you upgrade.
