If you could afford it the Nvidia 7900GTX would be the best, but those are over $500 and huge to boot. I love my 7800GT. They are under $300 and only take up one slot, much more room if you want to go with SLI. Runs cool too, about 40-42C average even while playing games. I have HL2, FEAR, Far Cry, Quake4, all look awesome!\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150108

Yes, as long as you have an AGP slot (it is AGP isn't it) but that's ancient.  I believe there were also PCI versions of that card if I'm not mistaken.  If you aren't going to play games that's fine.  But in the computer world that card is as old as my grandmother, maybe older.  Why do you people like hanging on to the past, it's time to move on.  Step up to at least the ATi X700 or Geforce 6600 series.  And that's not even what I recommend for gaming.

To be honest, it depends on your primary need for a video card.  Some programs run better on Nvidia, because that was what they were designed around. Some for ATI, for same reason.  I reccommend taking a look at the programs you plan to run, and see which card will work best for you.

I would suggest a GeForce 6200 from newegg.com

It depends on the chip used for the integrated graphics, but most on-board video cards would have a tough time with WoW or Galaxies.  Depending on if you have an AGP port of PCI-Express port on your motherboard, there are a number of budget cards that would allow you to play those games at a decent speed and frame rate without killing your wallet.  I run an old AGP Radeon 9600 and it is able to play WoW perfectly well.

If the eVGA card will do what you want it to, then buy it. Your system sounds like it's a few years old, so I wouldn't spend too much to upgrade it. nVidia (geforce) cards are definitely a better choice performance wise than what ATI offers in your price range. Check online to see if you can find benchmarks for the three cards you are considering and see how they stack up.

It depends on what you will use it for. Games, business, etc. It also depends on on your motherboard. Does it have PCI, AGP, PCI-Express. If it has PCI-Express, get a video card for that particular slot. Me personally, I stick with NVidia. You can't go wrong with either a NVidia or ATI card. As for the best and cheapest, start buying Maximum PC. They do Vs. features which will help with taking the guesswork out of deciding which video card is best for you. Good luck!

I've got some suggestions... in both PCI-Express and AGP variety.  You'll definately want to use the digital connector (DVI) so all cards suggested will have both an analog and digital connector.\n\nThe ranges given are relative to your price point.\n\nBasic - home office, Internet surfing, no games:\nAGP: ASUS Geforce MX4000 (23.99 + s/h) link #1\nPCIe: MSI Geforce 6200TC (36.00 + s/h) link #2\n\nMid-range - mostly office/Internet use, some games:\nAGP: SAPPHIRE Radeon 9600 (57.99 + s/h) link #3\nPCIe: MSI Geforce 6600 (76.99 + s/h) link #4\n\nUpper-range - will play most games pretty well.\nAGP: SAPPHIRE Radeon X1600PRO (139 + s/h) link #5\nPCIe: SAPPHIRE Radeon X800PRO (149 + s/h) link #6

When you say "suitable for gaming", what type of games are you looking at playing?  The really high-end first-person titles like Half-Life 2, Fear, Everquest II etc probably have hardware requirements that far exceed what you've got.   \n\nMost of the high-end gaming cards that offer dual outputs are PCI-Express these days (rather than AGP) and generally have dual-DVI.  The most common configuration is still one VGA and one DVI output port, and you can use a $5 adapter.\n\nThere are a number of older AGP cards that have dual VGA outputs like the GeForce 5200 and ATI Radeon 7000 series, but those aren't fast enough for the newest games.   However, they will handle games like StarCraft, the Sims, and watching photos & video clips just fine.  That might be a good choice for what you're doing.

no problem man. these are all ATI AGP video cards in the range of $200 ..$300, the best is IMO the ATI 100-435603 Radeon X850XT 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X.\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2000380048+1069609639+4018+1305520549&Submit=ENE&Subcategory=48

It matters what type of interface you have in your pc, there are two main types on the market today, PCI express, and AGP.  You must figure out the interface in your pc, and buy accordingly.\n\nIf you mean you want to know if your video card is compatible with a game you own, make sure it is listed in the requirements, or look on the games website for supported game.\n\nI'm sorry I couldn't be more straightforward, there wasn't much for me to work off of.

i suppose you got a agp slot.\n\nget nvidia geforce 6600 or 6800 gt card (90 - 160$) and dont forget to upgrade your ram to 512mb for smooth game play.\n\nfor these graphic cards you should atleast have a 400 watts psu.\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com

I've you got good money go ahead and buy the Nvidia 7900 GTS, that will make your dreams come true and put a 500 dollar worth of damage in your pocket too.\n\nYou can't go wrong with an Nvidia 6800 GS neither, it's pretty good.

I had a 5200 and it was nice for limited gaming.  If you are into serious gaming like BF2 or FarCry or other graphics heavy applications.  You want to try to spend as much as possible on a great video card.  The nVidia 6800 with 256 Mb of memory is what I'm using now and I love it.  It's by no means a top of the line card only cost about $160, but it works for the games I mentioned great.  I have PCI-Express though and that may make a difference.  You can get great reviews on vid cards at www.tomshardware.com along with prices from tiger and zipzoomfly.

Any card is fine, I suggest either an ATI card, or a Gforce card. You can find cards anywhere now from like $70-$300 that are good. \n\nFirst just check to find out if your computer has AGP, PCI, or PCI-E (PCI Express) ports. To do this look inside your computer. If you see little brown ports that means you have AGP, if you have PCI then you have just plain metal ports, and if you have PCI-E then you have gold ports. PCI-E is the best, followed by AGP, and finally, the oldest type, PCI. \n\nI suggest atleast getting a 256mb card, as that will work for most. If you are into extreme gaming then you might want to head up to the 512mbs. Also, be sure to check if your computer has dual capabilites. Which means you can have two graphic cards at once. \n\nFor more information be sure to check www.wikipedia.com ... Simply search PCI-E ports, AGP ports, or PCI ports, this will help to give you a picture of what your looking for, while looking in your computer. \n\nGood luck! if you need any more help feel free to email me.

Basically, if you have the cooling capabilities to handle it, I would suggest the 256MB card.  The more memory, the better it is capable of handling difficult graphics.
