Need advice on vid card $149 or less

[Vampirrella]

I know this is the software forum but i see many of you here are gamers and have vid card experience, i thought id ask here first.

Id like to get a new vid card with 64mb ram for around $99-$149 or so. Which cards are best at this time? The system ill be using it in is a light gaming /surfing machine with win2kpro and 512mb pc133 ram (system #4 on my network)

any ideas?

geforce 2 ti200 is the best. not sure if you can find it for 150, but look around you should be able to find it for 160-170. goodluck.

Very good card for the money. If you are set on staying within your 149.00 limit I would go for it.
