You'd have to pay at least 150 for anything above average.

For anything other than basic websurfing you need to at least spend $150.

Go to Newegg. I'm quite sure you can get a better card for well under $100, especially after rebates. It certainly won't be the best, but if you're tht desperate for a new card, then that's the way to go.

You won't get a good card for under a hundred.

You can get an 8600GT for under $100.

Not the greatest card, but still better than his 7300.

That's an understatement.  

On Tom's Hardware, the 8600 scores SEVEN time more then the 7300.  

Domination.
