Newegg has a 6800xt for $100 with $7 shipping that will run most decent games. Newegg also has a ati X1650 for a mere $64.99 with $8 shipping or a X1550 for a mere $64 with shipping.

Driver link

Those should be the drivers for your current card. They are a little newer than the ones you have, but not much. They may solve the issue your having but I doubt it. It's a pretty old card.

New egg link

For new ones, work your way down that page, Ive ordered them lowest first. There are some ok bits of kit. If i were you, you might want to pick something from there and then see what people think, people might be able to suggest something slightly better if you give us a bench mark. Also, I'm just using newegg.com because others have, i don't actually know much about places to buy things state side.

*sigh*

Thank you for at least trying. My poor pathetic computer is rather indeed very old (I'm surprised it's lasted this long).

Well, I've seen enough of newegg's site (which is a great site), but I would like some other recommendations. Surely, it's not the only site on the web that sells them.

True it's not the only site out there, but Newegg is 99.9% the cheapest.

If your AGP, your choices are limited to the Lower-end cheaper Graphics Cards.
