can't decide whats the best card for $75 or less

[theGlove]

I'm looking at newegg site and trying to decide. Would like a card that can at least load up half life2 etc. thanks

Your better off buying used in that price range. A 6600gt or 6800nu is in that used price range and will run half life 2 real well. Look in the for sale/trade forums.

heres a 6600gt for 70$ used

What video card slot do you have? AGP, PCI, or PCI-Express?

If AGP, then get this Radeon 9600XT 128mb for $54.99 plus shipping:

If PCI, then get this Radeon 9250 for $49.99 plus shipping:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102533

If PCI-Express, then I would look at this 7600GS for $89.99 plus shipping if possible:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814133192

Otherwise, this X1300XT for $79.99 plus shipping would be fine:
