Non-existent?  

 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.

Best PCi-e for under $100

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.

For anything other than basic websurfing you need to at least spend $150.
ArcticFrost Posted at 4:07 pm on May 27, 2008
Basically any card better than what I have now (Nvidea 7300)
Ju5tin Posted at 4:07 pm on May 27, 2008
Think you're gunna have to spend a little more than that, lol. Also, we're going to need to know what type you want (PCI, AGP, or PCI-E), etc.

under 100? impossible.
chicklover Posted at 4:06 pm on May 27, 2008
i may not know a lot bout this stuff but i do know that it will be hard to get one under a 100
Micus Posted at 4:05 pm on May 27, 2008
You'd have to pay at least 150 for anything above average.
