i did that and the video cards that came up didnt seem like that good of a deal. Like a VGA PALIT Geforce FX5600 128MB 8X AGP, DVI, TV-Out Retail; CONNECT3D ATI RADEON 9600 128MB DDR DVI+TV RETAIL; ATI RADEON 9200 128MB TV-out AGP RETAIL; VGA CHAINTECH A-GX20 TI-4200 128MB 8X VGA, DVI & TV-OUT. RETAIL BOX; VGA CHAINTECH Geforce FX 5200 Ultra 128MB DDR .FX30 RETAIL BOX . Which of these do you recommend?

News flash $120 isn't going to get you a great card. YOu sound shocked that the choices that came up sucked.

Second. Good card for not much scratch. If you are patient, newegg often puts better cards up for sale (as refurbs) for way cheap. Got most of my equipment that way-end up spending about 60 cents on the dollar versus new.

Either card will perform about the same in Conterstrike and WC3, but movie playback, tv-out and future games with dx9 give the 9600pro the edge. |

I second the Radeon 9600 if you want good 2D/movie performance in addition to gaming
