    The second choice, the 6200. You can tell by the name that it is the newer generation, but it is still very old and you won't be able to play new games with it with high settings, I suggest you buy a cheap GF 7300GS or something, that is the newest gen.

    AGP4/8X in 25-50$ range]

    The 7300Gs is pretty nice, but unfortunatly its PCI and i dont have a PCI slot , just an AGP one.

    Are you sure? I lined the search to AGP and it gave me those results...

    But you should probably find a 7-series on your own too

    What's your budget Dark? It might give us a better idea of what we have to work with.

    Bah...thanks. Reading comprehension 101 please.

    As Shaun suggested, saving for a wee bit longer is probably a better idea. Patience over instant gratification! Xmas is just around the corner, why not make that work in your favour.

    You would be better saving your money and then buying parts that will run games

    Well the P4 2.4GHz aint doing you any favours, it will also need to be replaced to get a lot of troops in the field, so you might as well wait for Christmas.

    That's what I was afraid...I guess we can't assume that everyone else around here is in a country that has Christmas. Do you have a birthday coming up? Graduation? Anything involving gifts?

    Well, any of those cards that you named would not be a huge improvement over what you already got, so I would just sit still.
