347480 2005-04-22 12:46:00 Kia Ora.

I would definitely recommend the 6600GT 128MB Version. Get PCI-Express if your motherboard has a PCI-E slot. The 6600GT offers the best performance per dollar in todays graphics card market. You can pick one up on Trademe for between $300-$400. New they cost around $350-$450. The best model is the Leadtek Extreme TDH: www.ascent.co.nz ($410)
