I am looking for a good 3D graphics card since I have a real sucky one right now :eek: I want the AT graphics elite to help me out here :D I am looking at spending not more than $150, should be overclockable and will be used primarily for gaming. Also suggest whether I should wait or go buy one right now. Thank you :)

what's your time frame option.....how long before you absolutely have to buy? It's always better to wait for the newest cards to come out so the older ones devalue.

$150 can get you a GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB at newegg.com

never heard of "albatron" though

chaintech sells a geforce4 ti4200 128mb for $149 (the albatron one sells for slightly cheaper).

aopen, evga and asus have one for around $160

if you're an ati fan...once in a while there will be a deal for the 128mb version of the 8500...

I have the albatron ti4200 card...oc'ed to 315/585 with no added cooling. Best $140 I ever spent.
