Best replacement video card...?

[Jackhole]

... for an LCD monitor with max resolution of 1280X1024 and the best price? I currently have a geforce 3 ti200 that is decent for now but won't be for half-life 2. Any suggestions?

I suggest you wait until HL2 is actually released, then make a decision. You may be able to pick up a 9800XT that will run it at a decent rate by then for $200.

How much are you looking to spend? As Jeff pointed out, if HL2 is your primary reason for upgrading, it's best to wait for the game to be released.

9800XT price is no limit!!!!

I just went from a Geforce 3 to a Radeon 9800 non pro. Great price for the performance it gives. My games look alot better and affter I upgrade my CPU to 2.6ghz I'm won't be worried about Halflife 2. Doom 3 might be a different story though.

Very much agreed and don't think I will be upgrading my ti4200's until then.
