Need Help buying a Video Card in the $100 Range

[ladic]

I am on an extremly limited budget and need to buy a New video card.
My current Card just broke, it was a GeForce 3 ti200 64mb, and I need something preferably better than this but cheap.
Can anyone tell me which card should i get and on which website they sell them for a good price?
thanks

9600 PRO! (NOT 9600SE!!!)

$110 on this site:

I'm sure there's more out there... this was the first one that popped up on pricewatch.

cool, is that site reliable to order from?

also, I've heard if u previously had a Nvidia Card and then use ATI you may get problems upon installation.
I know there is a programs called detonator or something that completely removes the Nvidia drivers, where can i find this program?

Well, I ended up ordering from Newegg.com, I bought a Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9600pro for $129.99.
But where do I get the detonators to unistall my nvidia drivers?
