So long you've asked "have strong performance" and didn't mention on how much budget to spend then have you heard that those 8800 cards are released ? They have strong performance and won't be a bottleneck. Your CPU will be the bottleneck.

yeah im getting a new psu . my budget for the card is about 150-175.i got 1 gig of ram soon to have amd 64 3400 ecs mobo combo from newegg[ only 100 bucks] ill probally get a 500 watt psu ill shop around for that.i was thinking about a 7600 gt or maybe a 7900 gs or gt. i only game at 1024x768 so let me know. yeah i meant the cpu would bottleneck the card. im burnt out sorry 8)

If you do the rebate, this card is a nice deal. Beats a 7600GT:

For powersupply purposes, this would be fine:

Good luck.

If you can come up with another $25-30 you could get this X1950pro.

Or you could get a 7600GT for cheap, and upgrade to 2GB of RAM.

 

[enforcerfx]

That could work too. Good input kaotao. :lol:

 

[kaotao]

That X1800GTO's a pretty good deal.

 

[Anoobis]

That's a good price on the X1800GTO, AR.

You could also consider:

7900GS for $160 AR.

It's not as strong as the X1950Pro, but it is stronger that the 7600GT and theX1800GTO and the price is right in the middle.
