Whats a good graphics card?

[Triple_7]

This day just turned sh*tty.  My 128MB card just decided to burn up.  Litteraly...it started to melt around the fan :o >:(  So its done for.  I havent even had the bloody thing 2 years yet >:(  I kept it clean all the time...no dust or anything to stop it.  It just decided to fry >:(

So...anyways.  I dont have a AGP slot on this system so looking for another PCI thats a hundred bucks or under.  I know I've seen 256mbs for that before.  I still have my origional reciept and will be demanding a refund or replacement of something in that price range...I paid 120 bucks for this damn thing and to not even get 2 years out of it is bullsh*t  I aint leavin the store till I get some kind of compensation.  And if they cant do it then they had better get me the info for the accual company because i aint playin this little game.  I've done nothing to cause this and cant help their chips are sh*t :-/

So for $100 or under...whats a good PCI card

The ATi Radeon 9550 or nVidia FX5500 are going to be your best bets. Both can be found at newegg for under $100.

PS: you should realy look into getting a PCI-E Motherboard.
