What graphics card should I get?

Question

I have an HP pavilion a6220n PC. Its really good. It has an Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 (2.2 GHz), 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM, and 400 GB of storage. But the problem is that it came with a really weak graphics card. Its an Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family, it has 256 mb of video ram but it doesn't have any T&L (Transform & Lighting). So i cant play games like Halo 2 and Battlefield 2. I can barely play Halo 1, I have to run it in safe mode in order to play it. So what graphics card do you recommend that costs less than 100$ and runs both Halo 2 and Battlefield 2?

Answer 1

this is a good card it can play you sort of games very well with settings turned to max  dont listen to other people you dont need a 8800gts or anything like that plus you cpu will hold it back anyway so theres no point get a 8600gt the one i recomemed best one for your money

Answer 2

This video card is 99$ Very good price, overclocked, and has thermointellegence for good cooling, also it has 512mb GGDR3. Which is very good for that price and video card model. This is the perfect card to get to run those games on max graphics

Answer 3

put a geforce 7600 or above (preferably an 8800) with min 256 mb memory but 512 mb vid would be better

so i recommend geforce 8800 512 mb pcix vid card

Answer 4

do your self a favor and buy the geforce 8400 gs i believe they are going for around $40 and for that price you can play crysis on low in dx9 and for a $40 card thats amazing but i would save up more and shell out around $200-$300 and then you can get an amazing card that you won't regret buying.

but here's where you buy the 8400 gs their customer service here is amazing they have they're own phone line dedicated to the customers : http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...
