I'm going to the store very soon and need to know a REALLY good graphics card UNDER $100

If anyone knows any, please help me out here

Okay, a DECENT card under 100 BETTER than my NVidia 7300

Non-existent?

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

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

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.

Basically any card better than what I have now (Nvidea 7300)

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 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.
