My Abit Geforce 4 Ti4200 just died. Now I need to replace it immediately because my machine is a dev machine, using it for work. I'm stuck with $150 budget no more no less. What you guys think I should buy? a vcard with good price/performance ratio.

My system

AXP2000+
Soltek nForce2 400
512 RAM

That price, get an AGP GF6600GT if you can find it for $150. Otherwise, a 256-bit Radeon 9800 pro, which have now dropped to under $130.
