Hey, Nvidia 6000 and 7000 Series cards are great, but I am a Fellow PCI Slot user, and I paid $130 for a Special Edition GeForce FX 5500ZX in 2005 at Tech-Depot (It has been discontinued since) and it is a Hellava Graphics Card, sure not as fast or great as some cards, but it Runs Halo and Halo CE Fast as Hell!!! I have no problems playing other higher-end graphics games!!
All in all if you simply want to get a good solid graphics card, without having to replace anything, get a GeForce FX 5500 or a GeForce FX 5200 (the 5200 has 256MB or Memory Compared to the 5500 128MB, but the 5500 Runs a Hellava lot FASTER and HARDER), it will be well worth your money.
Go to www.techdepot.com and in the Search box type: GeForce FX, It will bring up a Good Selection!
Hope this helps, BOSS
P.S. Also I am a Computer Performance Tech, and you can go to my homepage at www.galactictechinc.zoomshare.com and click on Links for some helpful Links to other sites related to Graphics Cards. Check it out, and Enjoy!
If you took 2 seconds and looked at the link I posted, you would realize I selected a PCI...NOT PCI-E or AGP card.

What Model of Card was it? They Just had a Big Recall on some of the GeForce Graphics Cards due to Driver Falure!
Posted by: Darkness Howls
DO NOT get GeForce! I just purchased one of those; it was missing the necessary drivers to install, so I had to spend at least 10 hours searching the web for the drivers.
It took yout 10 hours to find nvidia.com?
Thanks, BOSS
I want a link, no one recalls a card because of a driver.

ipjuunin I think you should go with the x1300. I have an x300 (the previous generation version) and it runs halo on high at 800x600 (1024x768 if you overclock d(^.^)b.
O.O
I'm not so mad at evga now...mine runs at high on on 1600x1050.
You should pick a resolution that your monitor runs at since no monitor runs at that ratio.

I know it's a long list, but I want to make sure from the experts, so I can get a decent card that costs what it should.
Experts? The experts? You must have us confused with some people who are better than we are. Joking. Anything with the numbers 9250 in it sounds good.
RADEON!
Oh, and you can view my XFire profile for pictures of Halo and CoD2 on a Radeon 9250 with a 1.49 gh processor.
But I can run Halo on high everything (except shadow and specular, because I like to listen to music while I play) with my overclocked processor at 2 gh.
Stop reccomending that card, it does not even support dx9 effects which is why your CoD2 shots look bad.
