My funds are limitted right now and could get a big fancy video card but it wouldn't work on this computer so was thinking maybe just upgrading video and waiting for new computer for a year or so.
Can someone suggest the best/cheapest videocard i could get for a..
p4 2.56ghz 1gig ram. Think the AGP is 8x on it. Main problem is tower is only 250watts. Right now it's running a diamond s110 9250 256megs (128x2).
If you need a list to check whats available to me these are my main sites and these are Canadian prices and i'm looking for 100 dollars or lower.
if you're that strapped for cash settle for a 6200. it should play all games out. i can vouch for FEAR and BF2.

For those who mentioned the 6600 gt you guys are quoting US prices. I'm canadian. 6200 seems to be my best option like nitestick pointed out. Is this far better then what i have now and worth the cash? Or better off just waiting till i get a new machine.
What i have now..Ati diamond s110 9250 256megs or
That one you have picked out is going to do pretty well. It sports DDR2 onboard memory, not the 'Turbocache' technology. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with its performance.

Problem is don't know if my MB can do ddr2 or my power supply 250watts could handle it. Someone told me once they were surprised i could run the ati 9250 256 on 250watts.
Oh well really wanted to play Elder scroll Oblivion thats about to come out but guess I'm screwed. Sucks being broke.
Video card experts opinion plz.
