That depends mostly on your motherboard. For example, is it PCI Express or
AGP? If AGP, what version? In general though, a Radeon 9800 Pro would be
about right for your needs and budget, if your mainboard supports it. -Dave<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> |

You MIGHT want to list your system's hardware specs if you hope to receive
an intelligent answer. The video card choice depends on the other hardware.

That's exactly what I chose this last time around for my
upgrade (it's about 75% faster then my old Ti4600).
Paid around $185 for mine.
I looked at some faster video cards, but very quickly I
was up in the $300-$400 range, which was more then I
want to pay for a video card.
The 256MB cards aren't worth the price premium (yet).<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Please asking for suggestions on a good video card |

I currently have a generic 64Mb gForce2-MX400 4xAGP installed and
it works great for me in EverQuest, Descent, SimCity-4, the Sims
and The Sims-2.
I have had a lot of luck with gForce cards and they arent
expensive.
Some people report problems with them, which it seems to be
related to the latest driver being buggy. When EverQuest upgraded
to DirectX-9 I upgraded my drivers and everything went berzerk.
Putting back the old version fixed it all. >> Stay informed about: Please asking for suggestions on a good video card |

Look for a Wintek 6800LE.
