oh yeah... only games played (and very rarely) are counter-strike and wc3. thanks again.

under the assumption of agp, go for gf mx400 or radeon.

I think the GF2 mx series is fine if your only using your pc for internet, office programs, and very light gaming. but for a few bux more you could get the GTS (which is the same chipset as the gf2 pro and ultra just incase you want to OC the card) Im using the GTS in my computer cause im not a heavy gamer but its worth the extra few $ cause it's alot faster than the mx cards in games.

oh btw what is your system specs? 2x agp or 4?
