For agp, 6800gs or x800gto2. For pci express, 7600gt.

might want to check up on whether you have a PCIe slot or an AGP slot. PCIe and PCI are NOT the same thing.
download everest home. Run it, click on Display, click on GPU, and see what it says for "Bus type"

Go for a BFG Tech Geforce 6800 GS OC 256mb.

Runs BF2 Great!

Re: decent graphics card

That would work, but the 6800 GS is above what hes wanting to spend.

Re: decent graphics card

6800XT, believe it or not, it works well for the price..

Re: decent graphics card

just pci? not pci express?
If its just PCI, you're not gonna find any cards worth getting.
Just curious, what kind of processor do you have?
