New Video Card
I'm helping my friend upgrade his computer. I've already picked out some more ram to boost him up to 1gb, I just need to pick out a Video card for him. However He only wants to spend $100Cdn on it. Therefore my question is, what is the best vid. card for that price @ www.NCIX.com ?

What does he want to do with it?? If it's gaming, good luck, $100 gives you very little in choice. Perhaps go with the 9550 or the FX 5200.

Or this: GV-R96P256D Gigabyte GV-R96P256D Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 128BIT DDR AGP VGA DVI TV-OUT Video Card
*Usually available in 2-5 days YES* $105.91 BUY

Personally, I'd suggest to him doubling his budget, he'll get a much better card.

He won't be doing any hardcore gaming... ever. Mostly Sims 2, and old Diablo and Warcraft games. I got the 9600 Pro, thanks for the help man, I really appreciate it. Cheers.
