Im thinking thats 100-200$? I would suggest either the Radeon7500 or the Geforce3Ti200 or for a little cheaper get a Gainward Golden Sample Geforce2pro for like 125-130$ since it has 4.5ns ram it will oc to over Geforce2Ultra speeds, but TranceRanger was telling me that for 140$ he found a geforce2Ti that has 4.0ns ram so it will be almost Geforce3 speeds once oced......If i were you i would go with either the Ti200 with 4.0ns ram or the Radeon7500
I agree with funnyperson- Ti or 7500.
But, isn't that more like $75 to $125US? If so maybe a Geforce2 MX is more up your alley, good choice as long as you game at 1024x768x16bit or less. Or grab a Gefroce2 GTS, much faster- and harder to find, now that the GF3s are out.
I've seen 32mb GTS cards for $95 US. But that's about as cheap as they go.

i dunno about an mx, id much rather have a Radeon LE for that price(51$)......but i have seen gtses on pricewatch for 70bucks, but they are GTS-Vs, i dunno what that means....

if you're looking for the $75-$125 range then i'd go with either the GeForce2 GTS or the RadeonLE. In my personal choice I'd go with the GTS but i've had no experience with the LE. The GTS I used though was awesome for it's price. If you're looking in the $100-$200 range then either:
1. Wait if you can and see what the Radeon8500 does, if it gets good support then go for that definately.
2. If you're looking for something now go for the GeForce3 Ti200. Right now I think it's the best card for the money with GREAT overclocking capability.
