It depends on how much money you want to spend.
Navida just relased one that sell for $499.99 this is probably the highest price. You have to know what types of video card your system will support. Some system will only support PCI cards while others will support AGP & PCI cards. The newest ones use PCI EXPRESS ports. Your system must have been purchsed recently for this option. Or you can always buy a new Mother board. But the options are endless You have to decide what exactly you want & can afford. But if you can not get at least one with 64 meg ram I would not even bother. The 64 meg ram ones will only make you want a better one. I would suggest that whatever make you get make sure it has at least 128 meg ddr ram

Hey SOP ( Smoveoporator ) ,

You might also go to RCS Panels and see what Roy Chaffin has to say .  He seems to do a lot of testing on cards .

I'd recommend one of the GForce Ti range, I'm running a Ti4600 and getting brilliant results with all FSs/CFSs. But if you want to go the whole hog get one of the Ti5000 range, they are AWESOME 8)
