Well cpu speed would be nice to know.

You can get a gf4 ti4200 for less than 100 bucks which has tv in/out and 128mb DDR

Might be able to find a cheaper FX 5600 for your price range, not sure though

Both those I would recommend a CPU of probably 1.4ghz or better

Its worth it Ramzey...

you can get an FX 5200 for less, but its just an MX card all over again.

The 4200 will walk all over the 5200...

The GF4 TI4200 with 64MB actually benchmarks slightly higher,
or at least did a few months ago. Question : is 64MB enough
for AH2? Hope so....

this is question for HTC;) Skuzzy? 64 mb or 128mb ram on graphic card?

ti4400 with 128 mb as a minimum

do you want to have to upgrade in 10 to 12 months again?

I see that the TI4400 benchmarks very nice, but what I didn't understand was why Toms hardware promotes the technoligy as old school now. The price of it is very affordable, and it hangs up there with the bigboys... It could be that its DX9 support isn't there?!
It appeared to me that the Radeon 9600pro was a good value at around $155....
My current graphics card is mx440, so any of the $100 cards is better at this point..
I run around 80FPS and couldn't imagine being above that, but others say they are above 120FPS currently.. That is huge!!
