The card in my wifes computer is going to h*^#. :dead: It's a Dell board with an Intel P4 2.26GHz chip and a gig of DDR266 ram. This is a computer I can Cheapsk8, I built it out of spare parts and others throw aways while laid off a couple of years back(if I can find the pics from building it I'll put them in a thread). She got a couple of new games for Christmas and her b-day and the card just isn't cutting it. And now it acting up just surfing the web. The card is an ATI Radeon 9200 series, I know but it was free 2 1/2 years ago so can't complain. I'm looking for suggestions as to what would be a good card for this machine. We don't have a lot to spend but do need a new card and don't want to buy more than the computer can use. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. +rep I actually found that cards big brother on new egg. I was hoping to get opinions on cards that people on here have used, cuz I just don't trust reviews posted on the site I'm buying from.

A friend of mine has a GF6200 PCI in his similar Dell - 2 GHZ P4, gig of RAM. I think his is a (ridiculous overkill) 512MB. It plays WoW and the like fairly well and seems well-matched to the system. If you can find one cheap, then, it's a fair bet.
