Ok then - I took your advice and my cheap ass to TigerDirect and got a PNY GeForce4 Ti 4200 / 128MB / AGP 8X / VGA / DVI / TV Out Video card. It was $59.99 with no tax and a $20.00 rebate and total on shipping was $13.76 which also covered the 512mb stick and the two new case fans I bought. I don't really game that hard anyway, but if I did, I would get something like your current card. Since I don't, I just wanted an upgrade to what I had and $59.99 seemed near free compared to kicking down the full $400 for something decent.
Thanks for the expert advice.
Oh yeah - and as prices are changing all the time, you should expand your guide a bit more with some of the cards that are too expensive right now to be worth it. As those cards prices fall, maybe they will outweigh others that have not dropped as much. Just a thought.
