What's 'cheap' to you?  Most anything can be found for 150 USD or so, just look at newspaper ads for stores near you.

For an active example, my actual card (in the signature) is quite good and cheap. Suggested for a low budget and for being used with FS9. :)

I'm just getting started in FS. My video card is a GeForce4 Ti4200 running through AGP 4x. Terrible, but not worth upgrading alone. Surprisingly, it still chugs along with rather high (IMHO) settings.

More information is really needed before giving out any "advice" on video cards....

CB747, what are your system specs?  Is your motherboard a AGP or PCIe?  What is your price range.... ;D
