Hey guys, christmas is fast approaching and i am looking to slap in a decent graphics card for the new range of games that are being released (half life 2 etc). Can anyone recommend a decent card (256mb) at a reasonable price?

I would recommend ATI chips, and it depends on your bus, but if you have AGP 8x then get a Radeon 9800 Pro or XT, if you have PCI Express I can't really recommend anything, I haven't used a PCI Express card.

I currently have a geforce 4 ti4200 x 8 agp. Not sure if it is running at 8x though. Anyone i could check that? I would imagine so......

What sort of price can i expect for that card?

im using a GeForceFX5200 256mb but the card your running (my old card) is actually better i only got this cause mine broke

the best value card out there right now would have to be the GeForce6600 if you can stretch that far - If not go for ATLEAST a fx5700 otherwise you wont notice the differance. . . . i wont comment on ATi cards cause i have never used, plus there drivers have issues with *some* games
