What's your price range?

$120-170 Ti4200

$170-210 ATi 9500Pro

$210-320 Ti4600

$320-390 ATi 9700Pro

$ Stole parents Credit Card: GFFX

I have a 9500Pro and I'm quite happy with it. Had a 4200 before that and like it too. Just don't get a PNY. They're flamable.

I've seen 9700s (non pro) in the $250 range. I would recommend that over a 4600.

Anywho, for just something to puff out pixels, I'd go down to a refurbished/discount electronics store and see if they have any fair GF3s for sale (saw a GF3Ti-500 for $30 awhile ago, which is worth it in every way).
