PCI Geforce/Radeon

Does anyone know what kind of performance I can expect? It'd be for my wife 2.8Ghz Celeron, and the most hardcore game she's going to play would be the Sims2. I bought her an off the shelf system (please dont hurt me) rather than building one and while it has the extremely killer( I mean suicidal) Intel Extreme graphics II chip, there is no AGP slot. SO I gotta go PCI. I fgure as long as I can get 20+fps it would make her happy.

A Radeon 9200 or 9250 would do the job.

I'd go for the GeForce 6200 PCI.

No need for a GF6200, she's only playing The Sims.

Yea but its the sims 2 man. I remember playing that on my 9800 PRO... it never really performed all that well, it was sluggish. I just went back to the sims 1. I would get the best card possible as the sims 2 is 3d and takes more horsepower to run than the original sims.

Duly noted. GF6200PCIs aren't easy to come by IIRC.
