recommend a graphics card?

Hey guys, I think I'm going to upgrade my graphics card mostly for playing Battlefield 2. I was wondering what people might recommend for me to get. I'm planning on spending about $150. thanks

Hello. Are you looking for AGP or PCIe?

Both the X700 (pro?) and 6600 GT can be had for around that price. I'd recommend the X700 just from experience with ATI.

i think X700Pro might be a better card for BF2 because BF2 needs a large amount of texture memory.
