Hi all, I've just recieved the "go ahead" from my parents to upgrade the family computer- As this Comp. is used mainly for web browsing and gaming (If myself or my brother are around :p), and my family is Not tech savy whatsoever (with one obvious exception ;)) I'd like suggestions for a high quality video card between $100 and $150 that wont require me to drive home every day just to fix/ fiddle with something. Then again, if it's a good enough deal, I just might not mind :D
Thanks all.

Would it be a bad idea to go with the GF2 Ti? it's $53 cheaper, and cost is an issue my parents will gripe alot about unfortunately. They just don't know what they're missing :p

Don't do it Big Chief! The GF2 Ti image quality isn't what I'd call great. I've had several GF2s, a couple of Radeons, I'd go Radeon 7500 for the same price if I had this choice to make. Search for it on Pricewatch.com.

Im very happy with my Leadtek GF2 PRO/GTS. I just built a computer for a co-worker and put in a Leadtek GF2 Ti. The Ti is a good card, it out performs my PRO/GTS. If the parental units are gonna gripe about the $$$$ then the GF2 Ti would probably be a good way to go. I have heard some people say there are driver issues with the Radeon cards, I have never used one so I do not have any experience in this area. I have been very happy with my GF2.

Thanks guys, but I'm still wondering- In your opinions, is the G3 ti200 worth the extra 50 bucks?
Edit:
