If you absolutely must buy a videocard for $70, I'd try to find a GeForce 4 TI4200. They're around $80-$90. DO NOT buy a DirectX 9 videocard for $70...I'm not exaggerating when I say that they will not even play games at the lowest setting. These cards are for non-gamers. If you buy one of the $70 DirectX 9 cards, it will be a very, very bad decision. You need to find a GeForce 4 TI4200. I'm also not exaggerating when I say that a DirectX 8.1 TI4200 with 64 MB of RAM will perform 200% better than the cards you're thinking about. Twice as good is a lot in the videocard industry. Those cards are incredible pieces of shit.
Any GeForce 4 TI4200 will do. If you use Pricewatch, check the company on
