well, my computer as of now is

 

Pentium 3 500mhz

15gig HD

Current Video Card - SiS_315e, runs like a geforce 256

17inch monitor

A-open motherboard, agp4x compatible

 

ok, my budget is $200, or $400, it all depends on if i can get my christmas money back off my mum (shes a little angry at me buying games), hopefully, i get $250 Australian dollars, not american, not pounds, australian ;) .

 

ok, im mainly after a radeon series card, but, i want one that can run morrowind 1024x768 draw distance either 50% or higher, over a constant 23fps in balmora, because ive seen a geforce 4mx 440 do it, at the same, so my computer should easily be able to do so.

but, ive looked at the prices, and i can see radeon 9200 128mb ddr for 80-120 dollars, but, i want something reliable, something powerful, like the video card Dark0ne has, geforce 4 ti4200, although, i doubt a ti4600 is in my budget margin.

All right let's sort this out...

 

Radeons

These types of cards are of high quality but they arent what you could call cheap

The best radeons are the 9700/9800 However those types of cards are above 200 euro so also around 200 dollar.

 

Then you have the G-force

First the ones you defenitly dont buy

GF 4 MX 64 MB

GF 4 Ti 4200 128 mb

GF FX 5200

 

These are the worst on the market and I strongly advise not to buy these cards

 

If you want a good card you might want to check the GF4 Ti 4800 ( pay attention on the 4800, different of the 4200 )

Unfortunaly this card is also around the 180 euros, so also something around the 170-180 dollar. You also might want to try the other G-Force FX cards but they are quiete expensive.

 

Altough for any of these cards I suggest you might want to boost up your pc. Before you buy any of these cards make sure you ask first if your pc can handle it. Just in case...
