Hi Jeff Roy,

I would say either an ATI Radeon 8500LE 128MB ($98) or a Gainward GeForce4 Ti4200 ($115), both at MWave. Hope that helps.

ASUS V9280TD GeForce 4 Ti4200 64MB ($138)
Not only is it pretty but its really good for current games. My friend bought it and it runs all of his games like a dream. One of ASUSs latest.

Get yourself an Albatron nVidia GeForce Ti4200 Turbo 128

Bang for the buck, I dont think any card matches for around $150. On top of that, it is HIGHLY overclockable and very stable.
