Ati Saphire Radeon 9000 128mb pro. Only £89, well worth the money as its probably the best budget card out there.

Radeon 9700 Pro or Geforce 4 FX. Those are the best and most expensive - no big difference between board manufacturers - some ofer better cooling for more overclocking etc. but no big difference (especially with G4FX as nvidia are making the boards - so they're all the same apart from fans).

I wouldn;t buy either of these cards as I'd consider it throwing money away. For a good bit less money and still great performance try Radeon 9500 pro, or any of the Geforce 4 ti4200/ti4400/ti4600/ti4800.

I saw ATI-RAD9000-128MB Pro for only $97 on pricewatch. Seems like a good deal to this video card neophyte vs $400 (I think) for the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. Not a vid card exp by far though. :lol:

the bold thinks w/ the n##e u noe that long stuff is the code u search paste in for that exact product

[slammy_dunken]

If you want high power but low price, I would get ATi Radeon 9500 Pro. as said by Maximum PC, it performs just 10% less then a 9700 Pro, but for 40% off the price.

[ooo]

but seriously does a good video card matter much? as long as u can see the graphics ur fine.... they cost too much... a video card around 65 dollars to me is good enough.... i bet if you go look at dell computers their video cards are probably even worst!

No. Their latest models include a 9700 Pro.
