or what is a good PCI cardThat's an oxymoron currently. AGP cards are WAAAY better than PCI right now.

I think the best one I could find for my kids was a PCI GeForce4 MX440 64MB. Still not game worthy, but as good as you can get I believe.

If you have a 128MB GeForce card, I'm pretty sure you have an AGP slot. Especially if you're running a 2.6GHz Intel processor ... but I'd say the Celeron is slowing you down more than the video card.

When it comes to Celerons & games... cut your speed by about 60% (your 2.6 runs like a P4 1.6). :(

Is a known issue on the herald. Wait till 1.70 before you do any upgrading

[Review (http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=2044)]

In comparison with the nVidia NV40, Anandtech reports "ATI comes out on top when it comes to DX9 and PS 2.0 performance, NVIDIA leads the way in OpenGL performance."

got this off of www.bensbargains.net (http://www.bensbargains.net) today.

I normally use Anandtech.

But I like HardOCP's new method of trying to get similar FPS's but increasing the bells & whistles.
