Yes.

Here's a list of nVidia cards with 256MB of RAM between $100 and $350.

The best card you can get is the 7800GS, but your CPU will be the limiting factor.

You can pair that card with your setup, although you may want to check out ATI too. Here is an ATI X1600Pro.

The 7800 GS line from nvida is good too however more costly and only realy worth it if you plan to stay on the AGP for a while and plan on some how getting an 2800XP or higher processor for your board other wise they are other kill.

Sure can but dont expect to play high quality

 

[mesarectifier]

Ewww... You both suck.

Wow, that was helpful, thankyou so much.

7800 is obviously the best card you can get for that system, but you're better off upgrading the RAM and processor.

You can get DDR RAM so cheap right now it's worth upgrading to a gigabyte. The processor could easily be bettered on eBay for next to nothing.

Get a 6800 GS, X800 GTO, 6600 GT, 6600 Vanilla. Whatever is in your price range.

A 6600GT would be 'night and day' faster!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[omarad]

exactly! i`m choosing the 6600 because i don`t plan to upgrade anything else in the near future so i want a card thet matches this setup because i dont want a super extra mega ultra card that wont play $h1t with that CPU. i know i wont play with dinamic range, AA, AF and stuff like that. now the question is if this system would be able to get the extra bucks out of a 6600gt or i rather stay with the 6600 vanilla?

 

[zoridon]

pay the extra and get the 6600gt. I assume your doing some mild overclocking with the cpu? This will allow you medium settings with no AA,AF or other eye candy for almost any game and high settings with older games till your ready for a full blown upgrade. I have a hunch your waiting for the new cpu architechure from intel and amd comming out late this year and next year to mature a little before you spend any serious money.

 

[omarad]

some like that. When those arquitectures are out i`m buying a 939 and a 7000 something, you see, i have a tight budget and i have to shop behind the tecnology curve.
