Well for $100 or less what card would you recommend?
Basically something that can play all of the current games out right now at an acceptable rate-

Radeon 9000 $69.
Radeon 9000 Pro $85
GeForce4 MX40 $63

Given these choices I myself would go for the Radeon 9000 and overclock it as much as possible.
this card is cheap and has a lot of good features.

Check out newegg, GIGABYTE RADEON 8500LE PRO for 99 and Hercules 3D Prophet FDX 8500 LE 64mb DDR with TV-Out & DVI - RETAIL for 88. Both are good cards and will work with all current games.

The Newegg.com 8500 card that is selling for $87+$4.50 shipping. It comes with 3.3ns ram! The original 8500's came with 3.6ns ram and they were clocked at 275 mem, so this card is obviously faster.
I just bought one and the 2.2 catlysts work great, smoothest installation of a card ever. I'd get an 8500 before I got a 9000. And a 4200 isn't worth the extra cash over the 8500. 4200's with 3.3ns ram are selling for around $200.

If you want a nice, stable card, I'd go for a high end geforce2 (GF4mx's are about the same thing, aren't they?) or low end geforce3... ATI drivers can be kind of flaky.

You should be able to get a 128 MB Radeon 8500 LE for under $100. For that price the card is simply outstanding value.
