I need a new graphics card

I'm running on an old 64 MB GeForce 2. I'm looking to upgrade a bit, but
I'm not going to spend a lot (so, I won't be upgrading a whole lot, I
guess). I'm thinking I'll spend $100-$150 tops.

Suggestions for the card I should get? I like the GeForce line--they seem
to work with every game I've tried to use on them.

Except, I just tried to play THIEF: DARK SHADOWS, and it needed a shader,
which my GF2 doesn't have, or course.

Suggestions on a card?

I know you say you prefer the GeForce cards, but since I got my ATI Radeon
9800 Pro 128MB card, everything has been excellent, including Doom 3 and
the new Counterstrike Source. You can get the cards for around a hundred
squids now, I think.

You can probably afford a GeForceFX 5900XT - I'm very pleased with mine.
