Any sub-$100 card wouldn't be much better than what you have. Don't get
anything less than a GeForceFX 5700 (non-LE), about $125 online.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

ATI 9600 Pro, or Geforce FX5700. If they cant be had for $100 or less
you're SOL...

forget the ATI for Doom3, at best only half the speed of a cheaper
Geforce. read some web reviews, ATI sucks, which shouldn't be a
surprise since John did a deal with nvidia for OpenGL. Don't listen
to the fools that pissed away $$$ on ATI and cannot let their egos
admit it.
