Do you have PCI-E or AGP?

 

[crazybrad]

I'll suggest one from each company:

This one has HD and s-video out capabilities, plus it's 512 ram and under $200.

This one also has HD and s-video out capabilities, it's $170 after rebate.

Both perform roughly the same. Both overclock well. Some argue ATI has better image quality. The 512mb ram might be better for your monitor at higher resolutions.

Overpriced, and both of the cards I mentioned would greatly outperform it.
