I need some advice :)
I am just about done with my new build and just about out of money. I need to buy a video card to get me by for about 1-2 months. By then, I should have enough saved to get a 9800xt or one of the brand new cards.

Right now all I have is a 32 meg radeon ????? that's about 5 years old and as you can probably guess, it's pretty bad.

I just need to be able to run Mech 4 and Call of Duty on the card until I get my "good" one. I am not looking for anything spectactular, just playable.

I can only spend a max of about 60 bucks on this or I will be getting into my money for the real deal.

Any and all advice welcome...

Help...

your best bet is a used or refurbished ti4200

ie, in the classifieds here right now is an asylum 128mb 4200 for 65 shipped (but you must have 100 posts before using classifieds)

or at newegg right now there is a refurbished abit silfuro ti4200 for 69 plus 1 dollar shipping
