Well, for $50ish you can get a radeon 9100 128mb, or maybe on ebay find a pci 9600/5600(I think they exist lol).

The Radeon 9100 is an oldie but a goodie if you only have PCI slots. My wife now uses it on her Dell :rolleyes: 4500s ( no agp slots).

Umm, no 5600's 4600's or 9600's on pci. Get a 256MB geforcefx 5200.

I thought my Vid Card was the best PCI card left...

Radeon 9200 256MB PCI.

Pretty nice card, havent had any flaws at all, ever on newer games like CS:S!

Looking to offload it (sell) since I need to upgrade. Interested?
