if ur very budgeted limited, get the radeon 9200 (only support direct x 8.1), but it is very cheap. Do not touch NviDIA cards that are older then the 5600 series, as the 5200 blows. I am running a 9200se (the -blam!-tiest of all 9200 w/128) and get 69 ping but have to run with nothing on. Framrates are very good, especially with omega drivers.
You should try the new ATI Catalyst drivers (4.6), I'm using them on my Radeon 9000 Pro and have seen a huge performance increase over the last Omega Drivers without Halo issues (based on Catalyst 4.4 I believe).
