Im gonna go shopping on ebay. I need a GOOD card for 75 bucks or less that will handle GAMES. I need a card for GAMES. I play Unreal Tournament 2003,counterstrike,earth and beyond, asherons call 2. eq expansions (UGH), fighterace (flight sim online).lets see.what else....Dungeon siege. DAOC. Neverwinter night... warcraft 3. EVERYTHING. I would love to get a gf4 TI series but their expensive as hell even on ebay.

8500LE would be your best choice, everything else in that price range is just outdated. I just bought one for 114 canadian infact. Was only an OEM, powered by ATI card but came at 250/250 clock. Overclocked nicely to 300/280. =)
