Best Graphics Card for under 100/150
Am on a budget and looking for a really good graphics card that won't crack under pressure of games like battlefield 2 and upcoming black & white 2. my radeon 9550 lags and slows up on me in certain maps in battlefield 2 and textures and graphics sometimes don't look right.
budget would be 100 but if you can find one for just over thats amazing then let me know about it too. plus give me your reasons for cards you suggest.

You should be able to get an AGP 9800 Pro for around £150 now

Re: Best Graphics Card for under 100/150
yeah i have battlefield 2 and want black and white 2, think 9800 pro would be dead on for those games, and future titles as well now???? and to add is their much difference in performance between a 128mb and 256mb?

Re: Best Graphics Card for under 100/150
Depends how far in the future, personally I would wait for the next bunch of cards to come along, but for its power, its by far the most cost effective card in its range and those surrounding.
Can pick it up for £80 here - http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...ice&show=stock
and £90 here - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...00_Series.html

It also depends what kind of slot you have in your PC.
Newer motherboards have the new PCI-E slots and most new graphics cards that come out are now the PCI-E standard.
The 9800 AGP card is however very good and I reccomend it.

What chip you got. Main problem is you can only buy a PCI-E board for an AMD64 chip or the newer P4's
