Current Best midrange card for the money

[Jergen]

Lookin to spend at or around 200 but will spend more or less if the next card up or down is worth it. I need a PCI-e card that will have no problems displaying at widescreen resolutions such as the acer 22" needs. If there is a mail in rebate that will take 1 card above another I will go that route as well. Also, unless I am mistaken and Microsoft releases directx 10 for XP (I havent been keepin up on information like that lately thanks to WoW suckin my life away =D), I don't need/care about DX10 compliant cards. Also will be buying some new memory and need some opinions on that, but will post in the correct forum. Thanks fer your help!

For that high resolution id say get a 512meg one. ATI's are generally better at mid-range and cheaper.

As guy put before 1950pro, I think that comes with a 512meg version.

Below $200, the X1950XT is the champ. Unfortunately, the 512MB will be out of your budget, so you'll have to settle for the 256MB version. It will still be faster than the 512MB X1950Pro, and should run most games at max or high settings.
